Effect of interacting resonances on dielectronic recombination in static fields

We find that the static field enhancement of dielectronic recombination may be strongly reduced by the interaction between resonances through common continue. The interaction effect is not limited to a few resonances but extends over whole n manifolds, thus it can significantly reduce the field enhancement of the total recombination rate. The standard lowest order theory is recast using a complex Hamiltonian to include higher order tenus usually identified with interaction through common continua. We present calculations for C3+ and Si11+ using both time independent and time dependent configuration average methods.
