Recombination of Cooled Highly Charged Ions with Low-Energy Electrons

  • Chapter
The Physics of Multiply and Highly Charged Ions

Abstract

The basic processes of recombination between free electrons and atomic ions are reviewed. We concentrate particularly here on spectroscopic studies of few-electron atomic systems by dielectronic recombination at the electron cooler of the CRYRING heavy-ion storage ring facility. Recent measurements of dielectronic recombination resonances with Li-like, Na-like, and Cu-like ions are shown, where a resolution in the order of 10−3 eV was obtained just above the first ionization threshold. Theories for recombination are discussed. From the spectra of the dielectronic resonances very accurate values for energy splittings and resonance strengths are derived. These allow crucial tests of relativistic, correlation, and quantum electrodynamical effects in these systems.
