Dissociation-induced excitation of CsII in collisions of electrons with CsOH molecules

Dissociation-induced excitation of a singly charged cesium ion taking place as a result of collisions of electrons with CsOH molecules is investigated. Possible reaction channels in the low-energy region are discussed. It is established that sequential population plays an important role for 6p levels of Cs⁺.
