The dissociative recombination of CaO<sup>+</sup> ions with electrons has been studied in a flowing afterglow reactor. CaO<sup>+</sup> was generated by the pulsed laser ablation of a Ca target, followed by entrainment in an Ar<sup>+</sup> ion/electron plasma. A kinetic model describing the gas-phase chemistry and diffusion to the reactor walls was fitted to the experimental data, yielding a rate coefficient of (3.0 ± 1.0) × 10<sup>-7</sup> cm<sup>3</sup> molecule<sup>-1</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> at 2 ...[more]
