Recombination rate coefficients for astrophysical applications from storage - ring experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The basic approach for measuring electron-ion recombina-tion rate coefficients in merged-beams electron-ion collision experiments at heavy-ion storage rings is outlined. As an example experimental results for the low temperature recombination of C iv ions are compared with the recommended theoretical rate coefficient by Mazzotta et al. The latter deviates by factors of up to 5 from the experimental one.

Photorecombination and Photoionization Experiments at Heavy-Ion Storage-Rings and Synchrotron-Light Sources
Recent experimental work on the photorecombination and the photoionization of astrophysically relevant atomic ions employing the merged-beams technique at heavy-ion storage-rings and synchrotron-light sources, respectively, is summarized. The resulting absolute photoionization cross sections and recombination rate coefficients benchmark corresponding theoretical calculations and are needed for ...

This thesis contains results of electron-ion recombination processes in atomic ions relevant for plasma applications. The measurements were performed at the Stockholm Refrigerated Electron Beam Ion Trap (R-EBIT) and at the CRYRING heavy-ion storage ring. Dielectronic recombination (DR) cross sections, resonant strengths, rate coefficients and energy peak positions in H-like and He-like S are ob...
متن کاملStorage ring measurements of the dissociative recombination of H3+.
The dissociative recombination (DR) of H(3)(+) is a key process in interstellar chemistry. More than 30 experimental studies of the DR process have been published in the literature. The H(3)(+) DR rate coefficient results obtained from these measurements, however, have not always been consistent. The outcome seems to depend on the experimental method, on the exact measurement procedure and some...
