Abstract
A coupled-channel analysis of electron-positive ion recombination is carried out, with full treatment of the coupling between radiation and autoionization continua. The cross section for this process reduces in the appropriate limits to the expressions for radiative and dielectronic recombination. The coupling to the radiation continuum leads to a modified Fano profile for the autoionizing resonances. The more complete, combined expressions derived here may be of interest for recent experimental studies of recombination and their comparison with theoretical results.
