    Abstract
    We studied the dissociation reactions of electron impact on water vapor for several fragment species at optical and near-ultraviolet wavelengths (200?850 nm). The resulting spectrum is dominated by the hydrogen Balmer series, by the OH (A (2)?(+);?;X (2)?) band, and by the emission of ionic H2O+(A (2)A(1);?;X B-2(1)) and OH+(A (3)?;?;X (3)?(?)) band systems. Emission cross sections and reaction channel thresholds were determined for energies between 5 and 100 eV. We find that the electron impact dissociation of H2O results in an emission spectrum of the OH (A (2)?(+);?;X (2)?) band that is distinctly different from the emission spectra from other excitation mechanisms seen in planetary astronomy. We attribute the change to a strongly non-thermal population of rotational states seen in planetary astronomy. This difference can be utilized for remote probing of the contribution of different physical reactions in astrophysical environments.
