Effects of configuration interaction on dielectronic recombination of Fe(XXIV)

The rate of dielectronic recombination for Fe²³⁺ has been computed in the non-relativistic approximation, with and without configuration interaction. All possible doubly excited states with n = 3?6, and l = 0?4 were included in the calculation. The rate of recombination for this manifold of states was found to be insensitive to the effects of configuration interaction, although contributions from any given LS symmetry were changed by as much as 40%.
