title: Kinetic processes in recombining H3+ plasmas.
abstract: Recombination in plasmas containing H(3)(+) ions occurs not only by binary recombination but also by third-body-assisted mechanisms, the principal subject of this contribution. Third-body effects on recombination are of interest for model calculations of hydrogen discharges, their spectral emissions and the inference of binary recombination coefficients from plasma afterglow data.
