Abstract
The lifetimes of three isotopologs of the molecular hydrogen anion have been measured using an electrostatic ion-beam trap. Much longer lifetimes (up to ∼2msfor D2−) than predicted by the most recent calculation are found, and it is proposed that more than one electronic state contributes to the overall lifetimes of these species
