The branching ratios for the dissociative recombination of various vibrationally cold polyatomic molecular ions have been measured using the ASTRID ion storage ring. The results show that many particles are ejected during the recombination process, and that isotopic effects exist when hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium.
