摘要
Dielectronic recombination (DR) of Be-like Xe-136(50+) was measured by employing the electron-ion merged-beam technique at the storage ring ESR of GSI in Darmstadt, Germany. We present results covering the center-of-mass energy range 0 - 4 eV. In addition to Rydberg series of resonances associated with ground-state intra L-shell excitations, resonances were found which are formed during DR of initially metastable Xe-136(50+) (2s2p P-3(0)) parent ions. This state is the first excited state and is long lived because the J=0 -> J=0 transition and the absence of nuclear spin make the rare E1M1 two-photon transition the lowest-order decay channel. Future measurements which will monitor the strength of the resonances as function of storage time may be exploited for a measurement of the E1M1 two photon transition rate.
