Abstract
The cross section of the ion molecule reaction H20 ++H2→H3++OH and its deuterium counterpart was studied over an energy range 2-100 eV using a tandem mass spectrometer. The measurements permitted a determination of the proton affinity of H2 of 4.37±0.05 eV and 4.50±0.05 eV for D 2. The energy threshold values indicate that the reaction is proceeding by complex formation at low energies.
