Description
The resonant channel of photo-recombination, the dielectronic recombination (DR) is a unique tool to investigate a broad range of questions in astrophysics, plasma physics, fundamental interactions, atomic and nuclear physics. In this talk I will discuss recent developments in the utilization of DR as a sensitive spectroscopic probe for heavy few-electron ions. The advances in the field are exemplified by a series of experimental studies carried out at the heavy ion storage rings ESR in Darmstadt and TSR in Heidelberg.
