Accurate plasma modeling, e.g. for astrophysical environments, requires detailed information on fundamental processes such as the recombination of free electrons with atomic ions. Although electron-ion recombination has been investigated in magnetic heavy ion storage rings over the past three decades, those studies were restricted to ions with low to moderate mass-to-charge ratios due to the relatively high residual gas pressure in magnetic storage rings. The electrostatic Cryogenic Storage Ring (CSR), located at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik in Heidelberg, provides excellent vacuum conditions and thus offers a unique environment for recombination studies with high mass-to-charge ratio ions. Here we report on the first recombination measurements with atomic ions at CSR. Our observations of resonant recombination features for Ne2+ and Xe3+ demonstrate the feasibility of atomic recombination studies with low-charged heavy ions at CSR.
