    "abstract": "The LiH$^{+}$ molecule is prototypical of the indirect dissociative\nrecombination (DR) process, in which a colliding electron destroys the molecule\nthrough Rydberg capture pathways. This Letter develops the first quantitative\ntest of the Siegert state multichannel quantum defect theory description of\nindirect DR for a diatomic molecular ion. The R-matrix approach is adopted to\ncalculate ab-initio quantum defects, functions of the internuclear distance\nthat characterize both Rydberg states and the zero-energy collisions of\nelectrons with LiH$^{+}$ ions. The calculated DR rate coefficient agrees\naccurately with recent experimental data (S. Krohn et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86,\n4005). We identify the doorways to fast indirect DR as complex resonance\nmanifolds, which couple closed channels having both high and low principal\nquantum numbers. This sheds new light on the competition between direct and\nindirect DR pathways, and suggests the reason why previous theory\nunderestimated the DR rate by an order of magnitude.",
