Low energy range dielectronic recombination of Fluorine-like Fe¹⁷⁺ at the CSRm

【摘要】 The accuracy of dielectronic recombination（DR） data for astrophysics related ions plays a key role in astrophysical plasma modeling. The absolute DR rate coefficient of Fe¹⁷⁺ ions was measured at the main cooler storage ring at the Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou, China. The experimental electron-ion collision energy range covers the first Rydberg series up to n= 24 for the DR resonances associated with the ² P_1/2→² P_3/2△n =0 core excitations. A theoretical calculation was performed by using FAC code and compared with the measured DR rate coefficient. Overall reasonable agreement was found between the experimental results and calculations.Moreover, the plasma rate coefficient was deduced from the experimental DR rate coefficient and compared with the available results from the literature. At the low energy range, significant discrepancies were found, and the measured resonances challenge state-of-the-art theory at low collision energies.更多还原
