Abstract

We describe the major low-energy electron-impact processes involving H2+^+_2 and HD+^+, relevant for the astrochemistry of the early Universe: Dissociative recombination, elastic, inelastic and superelastic scattering. We report cross sections and Maxwellian rate coefficients of both rotational and vibrational transitions, and outline several important features, like isotopic, rotational and resonant effects.
