Recombination of F6+ with free electrons at very low energies

• Radiative and dielectronic recombination of F6+ have been studied at the heavy ion storage ring TSR in Heidelberg. For a detailed investigation of rate enhancement effects at very low electron-ion center-of-mass energies experimental parameters such as the magnetic guiding field, the electron density and the adiabatic expansion factor of the electron beam have been varied systematically. Whereas measurements at different electron densities show no influence on the enhancement and while a variation of the expansion factor evokes the predicted behaviour, we see an increase of the enhancement with increasing axial magnetic field between 20 mT and 70 mT.
