Total and Partial Dielectronic and Radiative Recombination of Xe10+ Ions

Abstract

In this paper we study dielectronic and radiative recombination processes of Xe ions. We have calculated the energy levels, radiative transition probabilities, autoionization rates, and radiative recombination cross section for Xe 10+ ions using the flexible atomic code (FAC). New dielectronic recombination rate coefficients to excited states of Xe 9+ as well as total rate coefficients from the Xe 10+ ions are presented. We also calculated the related dielectronic satellite lines. We studied the n - and l -dependence for the dielectronic recombination rate coefficient and the radiative recombination rate coefficient. The dielectronic satellite lines through the 4 d 8 + e →4 d 7 4 f 1 n l →4 d 8 n l + h ν and the 4 d 8 + e →4 d 7 5 p 1 n l →4 d 8 n l + h ν are calculated and found to be important at low electron temperature for line intensities comparing to the lines produced by excitation. The radiative recombination rate coefficients are always smaller than the values of the dielectronic recombination ra...
