Reactive Collisions Between Electrons and BeH+ above Dissociation Threshold

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.
