DIELECTRONIC RECOMBINATION OF BI-80+ AND BI-82+

We have calculated dielectronic recombination (DR) cross sections for DELTA-n = 0 transitions in Li-like Bi using the semirelativistic version of the AUTOSTRUCTURE code. We present results for the full Rydberg series associated with the 2s --> 2pbar (j = 1/2) core excitation, which opens up at n = 20 and spans only 16 Ry, compared to the series associated with the 2s --> 2p (j = 3/2) excitation, which opens up at n = 6 and spans 200 Ry. We have also calculated fully relativistic and semirelativistic KLL DR cross sections for H-like Bi and find the effect of the Briet interaction to be important.
