ABSTRACT
Our previous studies of dissociative recombination and vibrational excitation/de-excitation of the BeH+ ion, based on the multichannel quantum defect theory, are extended to collision energies above the dissociation threshold, taking into account the vibrational continua of the BeH+ ion and, consequently, its dissociative excitation. We have also significantly increased the number of dissociative states of 2Π, 2Σ+ and 2Δ symmetry included in our cross section calculations, generating the most excited ones by using appropriate scaling laws. Our results are suitable for modeling the kinetics of BeH+ in edge fusion plasmas for collision energies up to 12 eV.
