- We have determined absolute dielectronic recombination rate coefficients for C II, using the CRYRING heavy-ions storage ring. The resonances due to 2s-2p (∆n = 0) core excitations are detected in the center-of-mass energy range of 0-15 eV. The experimental results are compared with intermediate coupling AUTOSTRUCTURE calculations. Plasma rate coefficients are obtained from the DR spectrum by convoluting it with a Maxwell-Boltzmann energy distribution for temperatures in the range of 103-106 K. The derived temperature dependent plasma recombination rate coefficients are presented graphically to compare with the theoretical data available in literature and parameterized by using a fit formula for convenient use in plasma modelling codes. In the temperature range of 103-2×104 K, our experimental results show that previous calculations severely underestimate the plasma rate coefficients and also our AUTOSTRUCTURE calculation does not reproduce the experimental plasma rate coefficients well. Above 2×104 K the agreement between the experimental and theoretical rate coefficients is much better, and the deviations are smaller than the estimated uncertainties.

- Aims. Absolute recombination rate coefficients for two astrophysically relevant Na-like ions are presented.Methods. Recombination rate coefficients of S vi and Ar viii are determined from merged-beam type experiments at the CRYRINGelectron cooler. Calculated rate coefficients are used to account for recombination into states that are field-ionized and therefore notdetected in the experiment.Results. Dielectronic recombination rate coefficients were obtained over an energy range covering Δ n = 0 core excitations. ForNa-like Ar a measurement was also performed over the Δn = 1 type of resonances. In the low-energy part of the Ar viii spectrum,enhancements of more than one order of magnitude are observed as compared to the calculated radiative recombination. The plasmarecombination rate coefficients of the two Na-like ions are compared with calculated results from the literature. In the 103−104 Krange, large discrepancies are observed between calculated plasma rate coefficients and our data. At higher temperatures, above105 K, in the case of both ions our data is 30% higher than two calculated plasma rate coefficients, other data from the literaturehaving even lower values.Conclusions. Discrepancies below 104 K show that at such temperatures even state-of-the-art calculations yield plasma rate coefficientsthat have large uncertainties. The main reason for these uncertainties are the contributions from low-energy resonances, whichare difficult to calculate accurately.
