Motivation: Cosmological importance of AD

Associative Detachment reaction (AD): A + B AB + e possibly exothermic and fast at low temperatures chemistry of the ISM H2 O reaction complex

1 O + H2 H2 O + e O + H2 OH + H 2 OH + H H2 O + e

Gas phase water formation from anions in the interstellar space

Motivation: Cosmological importance of AD

H2 - important coolant during protogalaxy formation Mechanisms of H2 production:

1 H + e H + H + H H2 + e 2 H + H+ H+ + 2 H + H+ H2 + H+ 2 3 H + H + H H2 + H

The rst one is dominant except for high red shifts and late phases of protostar formation Rate constant uncertainity model parameters of protogalaxies dier by orders of magnitude
