Abstract

In previous $^presentations^{1,2}$ we reported $H^{*}$nl product detection experiments and preliminary theoretical studies and proton detection experiments for the $He^{+} + H_{2}$ reaction processes. More extensive theoretical studies and ion detection scans have now been made and are reported. The theoretical studies include scans of the potential energy surfaces of the $X^{2} \Sigma^{+}, 2^{2} \Sigma^{+}, 3^{2}\Sigma^{+}$ and $1^{2}\Pi$; states and surface cuts of the $n^{2} A^{1}, 1^{2} A^{\prime\prime}, n^{2}A_{1}$ and $1^{2}B_{1}$ states. The ion detection experiments involve the determination of relative cross sections and quantitative energy thresholds associated with the product ions $H^{+}, HeH^{+}, H^{+}_{3}$ and their deuterium analogs. Multi-surface pathways dominate.
