Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Dissociative recombination is a process where a positive molecular ion recombines with an electron, and as a result, the neutral molecule dissociates. This reaction is important for extraterrestrial and atmospheric chemistry. On Earth , dissociative recombination is practically non existent, as free electrons would react with any molecule even neutral molecules they encounter. Even in the best laboratory conditions, dissociative recombination is hard to observe. In astrophysics , dissociative recombination is one of the main paths via which molecules are broken down, and other molecules are formed.

Unreferenced date October 2008 Plasma recombination is a process by which ion s of a Plasma physics plasma capture the free energetic electron s to form new neutral atom s. Recombination usually take place in the whole volume of a plasma volume recombination , although in some cases it is confined to some special region of it. Each kind of reaction is called a recombining mode and their individual rates are strongly affected by the properties of the plasma such as its energy heat , density of each species, pressure and temperature of the surrounding environment. Especially volume recombination is a very unlikely process at pressures below 1× 10 sup 4 sup Pa because of the conservation of energy and momentum. A third body is needed to satisfy the conservation laws. If the volume of the plasma is confined by a body the walls play the role of the third body. So recombination mostly occurs at the walls. Hydrogen recombination modes are of vital importance in the development of divertor regions for tokamak reactors. In fact they will provide a good way for extracting the energy produced in the core of the plasma. At the present time, it is believed that the most likely plasma losses observed in the recombining region are due to two different modes electron ion recombination EIR and molecular activated recombination MAR . physics stub Category Plasma physics Recombination, plasma ... more details

Genetic saturation is the reduced appearance, which occurs over time, of Divergence sequence sequence divergence rate that results from reverse mutation s, homoplasies and other multiple changes occurring at single sites along two lineage genetic lineages . Genetic saturation is a cause of reticulation in genetic trees, where diverging genetic branches might fuse back into one another before splitting. Two other causes are sequence errors and recombination. Genetic saturation occurs most rapidly on rapidly evolving sequences, such as the hypervariable region of mitochondrial DNA, or in Short tandem repeat such as on the Y chromosome.
