The dissociative recombination (DR) of HF+ + e → H(n=2) + F has been investigated at the storage ring TSR. With the HF+ dissociation energy being equal to the binding energy of the H(n=2) product within the rotational energy spread, we were able to resolve for the first time directly the individual rotational levels of HF+ in the fragment energy spectrum of DR (lowest kinetic energy release ∼ 4 meV). For this we measured the projected distance of the neutral fragments on a fragment-imaging detector behind an interaction region with meV electron collisions in merged beams. Modelling the data yielded the electron temperature and provided a highly precise value of the HF+ dissociation energy with an error below 1 meV.
