Many-body perturbation theory applied to dielectronic recombination resonances

A procedure to calculate dielectronic recombination cross-sections based on relativistic many-body perturbation in an all order formulation is presented. Complex rotation is employed in order to handle autoionizing states. The method is applied to recombination of lithium-like neon and lithium-like argon and the results are compared with experiments. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
