Variation of dielectronic satellite intensity factors with n for dielectronic recombination processes in selected lithium-like ions

Satellite intensity factors F^*₂(s→f) have been calculated for the 1s²2s+\varepsilon l→(1s²3l′nl″)^*→1s²2sml'''+h\nu dielectronic recombination processes of lithium-like V, Cu, Se, Ag and Ba ions. The relevant atomic parameters have been calculated explicitly for all intermediate resonance states |s〉≡|1s²3l′nl″SLJ〉 with n=3－9 in the intermediate coupling scheme. The 1/n³ scaling, which has often been used in extrapolating F^*(s→f) for n≥4, is tested against these values of F^*₂(s→f).
