Abstract The rate coefficients $\alpha^{\rm DR}$ of dielectronic recombination (DR) for Cu-like Au$^{50+}$ ion collided with the incident free electron are calculated based on the quasi-relativistic multi-configuration Hartree－Fock theory. The results clearly show that the $\alpha^{\rm DR}$ of all recombination channels exhibits resonance characters with electron temperature. At lower temperatures, the recombination for electrons caused by 4s excitation is dominant through outer electron radiative transitions among the intermediate doubly excited autoionizing levels, in which the most components come from 3d$^{10}$5pns states, whereas with increasing electron temperature, DR caused by 3d excitation turns out to be dominant, and the contribution from the 3d$^9$4s4fnf state to the total rate coefficient of electron 3d is the largest with $\alpha^{\rm DR}=1.15\times10^{- 11}$ cm$^3$$\cdot$s$^{-1}$ at an electron temperature of $T_{\rm e}=0.35$ keV. Under this condition, there exists a strong competition between the two types of recombination channels.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
