We report on an energy-sensitive imaging detector for studying the fragmentation of polyatomic molecules in the dissociative recombination of fast molecular ions with electrons. The system is based on a large area (10 cm x 10 cm) position-sensitive, double-sided Si-strip detector with 128 horizontal and 128 vertical strips, whose pulse height information is read out individually. The setup allows to uniquely identify fragment masses and is thus capable of measuring branching ratios between different fragmentation channels, kinetic energy releases, as well as breakup geometries, as a function of the relative ion-electron energy. The properties of the detection system, which has been installed at the TSR storage ring facility of the Max-Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, is illustrated by an investigation of the dissociative recombination of the deuterated triatomic hydrogen cation D2H+. A huge isotope effect is observed when comparing the relative branching ratio between the D2+H and the HD+D channel; the ratio 2B(D2+H)/B(HD+D), which is measured to be 1.27 +/- 0.05 at relative electron-ion energies around 0 eV, is found to increase to 3.7 +/- 0.5 at ~5 eV.

We present the results of calculations determining the cross sections for indirect dissociative recombination of LiH$_2^+$ + $e^-$. These calculations employ multichannel quantum defect theory and Fanos rovibrational frame transformation technique to
obtain the indirect DR cross section in the manner described by Ref.cite{hamilton}. We use textit{ab initio} electron-molecule scattering codes to calculate quantum defects. In contrast to H$_3^+$, the LiH$_2^+$ molecule exhibits considerable mixing between rotation and vibration; however, by incorporating an exact treatment of the rovibrational dynamics of the LiH$_2^+$, we show that this mixing has only a small effect on the observed DR rate. We calculate a large DR rate for this cation, 4.0 $times$ 10$^{-7}$ cm$^{3}$ s$^{-1}$ at 1 meV incident electron energy.
We experimentally investigate laser-induced dissociative recombination of CO$_2$ in linearly polarized strong laser fields with coincidence measurements. Our results show laser-induced dissociation processes originate from an electron recombination p
rocess after laser-induced double ionization. After double ionization of CO$_2$, one electron is recaptured by the CO$_2^{2+}$ and localized to O$^+$ or CO$^+$ in the following dissociation process. We found that the probability of electron localization to O$^{+}$ is much higher than that to CO$^+$. Further, our measurements reveal that the recombination probability of the first ionized electron is three times as high as that of the second ionized electron. Our work may trigger further experimental and theoretical studies on involved nuclear and electron dynamics in laser-induced dissociative recombination of molecules and their applications in controlling molecular dissociation with ultrashort laser pulses.
On a dense energy grid reaching up to 75 meV electron collision energy the fragmentation angle and the kinetic energy release of neutral dissociative recombination fragments have been studied in a twin merged beam experiment. The anisotropy described
by Legendre polynomials and the extracted rotational state contributions were found to vary on a likewise narrow energy scale as the rotationally averaged rate coefficient. For the first time angular dependences higher than 2$^{nd}$ order could be deduced. Moreover, a slight anisotropy at zero collision energy was observed which is caused by the flattened velocity distribution of the electron beam.
We estimate rates for the dissociative recombination (DR) of NO$_2^+$ + e$^-$. Although accurate excited state potential energy curves for the excited states of the neutral are not available, we estimate that the 1 $^2${Phi}$_g$ and the 1 $^2${Pi}$_g
$ states of the neutral may intersect the ground state cation potential energy surface near its equilibrium geometry. Using fixed nuclei scattering calculations we estimate the rate for direct DR via these states and find it to be significant. We also perform approximate calculations of DR triggered by the indirect mechanism, which suggest that the indirect DR rate for NO$_2^+$ is insignificant compared to the direct rate.
The Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) project is the planned Chinese space telescope for detecting the X and gamma-ray counterpart. It consists of two micro-satellites in low earth orbit with the advan
tages of instantaneous full-sky coverage, low energy threshold down to 6 keV and can be achieved within a short period and small budget. Due to the limitation of size, weight and power consumption of micro-satellites, silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are used to replace the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) to assemble a novel gamma-ray detector. A prototype of a SiPM array with LaBr3 crystal is built and tested, and it shows a high detection efficiency (70% at 5.9 keV) and an acceptable uniformity. The low-energy X-ray of 5.9 keV can be detected by a simply readout circuit, and the energy resolution is 6.5% (FWHM) at 662 keV. The design and performance of the detector are discussed in detail in this paper.
