Abstract

Electron-induced dissociative excitation (DE) is a little studied process of significant applied relevance. Our aim is to provide a theoretical counterpart to earlier experiments [M. J. Jensen, R. C. Bilodeau, O. Heber, H. B. Pedersen, C. P. Safvan, X. Urbain, D. Zajfman, and L. H. Andersen, Phys. Rev. A 60. 2970 (1999)] on DE of H2O+. For this purpose, we have performed low-energy fixed-nuclei scattering calculations, based on the R-matrix method, for over 1800 geometries of H2O+ . We have identified and characterized three resonances lying above the second ((B) over tilde) excited state of H2O+; their energy, lifetime, and associated quantum defect have been determined. We assess their possible contribution to the DE process.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-06-30:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 3.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 6 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 1 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://repositorio.uam.es/handle/10486/693931
Continuing with the social impact of the work, it is important to emphasize that, due to its content, it can be assigned to the area of interest of ODS 7 - Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all, with a probability of 78% according to the mBERT algorithm developed by Aurora University.
