In the past three decades, electron-ion recombination has been successfully investigated by employing the merged-beams technique in magnetic heavy-ion storage rings. Because of the limited magnetic rigidity, recombination studies were restricted to ions with low mass-over-charge ratio. The combination of mass-independent storage in electrostatic storage rings with the excellent vacuum conditions of cryogenic environments is a promising approach to enable the investigation of recombination processes in low-charged heavy ions, which are important, e.g., for astrophysics. Here we report on a first recombination study of Ne2+ + e− → Ne+ in the electrostatic Cryogenic Storage Ring (CSR) located at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg. We have observed resonant recombination features in agreement with quantum-theoretical predictions. Our results clearly demonstrate the feasibility of atomic recombination studies with heavier species at CSR.
