The absolute recombination rate coefficient for Be-like Ar14+, Li-like Ar15+, Be-like Ca16+, and F-like Ni19+ respectively. (a) Comparison of the experimental result to the theoretical calculations, the experimental data represented by connected black solid circles, the violet dashed line is for RR rate coefficient and the green line is from theoretical data of RR + DR. (b) Comparison of the experimental results with fitted data by taking into account of RR + DR resonances. Blue solid line corresponds to the fitting of DR. The red solid line indicates the fitted data including RR + DR, and Δ α is the enhancement of the experimental rate coefficient over the fitted rate coefficient α0. The transverse and longitudinal temperature obtained from this fitting are kBT = 2.40(6) meV and kBT = 11.91(87) meV for Ar14+ and kBT = 0.8 meV, kBT = 40 meV for Ar15+ and Ca16+, and kB T = 0.56(7) meV and kBT = 23(1) meV for Ni19+.
