Abstract

The absolute rate coefficients for dielectronic recombination (DR) of sodiumlike krypton ions were measured by employing the electron-ion merged-beam technique at the heavy-ion storage ring CSRm at the Institute of Modern Physics in Lanzhou, China. The measured DR spectrum covers the electron-ion collision energy range of 0-70 eV, encompassing all of the DR resonances due to 3s→3p and part of the DR resonances from 3s→3d(Δn=0) and 3s→4l(Δn=1) core excitations. A series of peaks associated with DR processes have been identified by the Rydberg formula. The experimental DR results are compared with the theoretical calculations using a relativistic configuration interaction flexible atomic code and the distorted-wave collision package autostructure. A very good agreement has been achieved between the experimental results and the theoretical calculations by considering the strong mixing among the low-energy resonances in both calculations. The experimentally derived DR spectrum is then convolved with a Maxwellian-Boltzmann distribution to obtain the temperature dependent plasma recombination rate coefficients and compared with previously available results from the literature. The present experimental result yields a precise plasma rate coefficients at the low temperature range up to ∼1×106K and the calculated data by Altun et al. [Z. Altun, A. Yumak, N. R. Badnell, S. D. Loch, and M. S. Pindzola, Astron. Astrophys. 447, 1165 (2006)10.1051/0004-6361:20053278] provide reliable plasma rate coefficients at high temperature range above 2×106K.
