DR: as the electron beam energy changes:
characteristic dielectronic resonances selectively excited lines
RR: as the electron beam energy changes:
Photon energy shifts continuosly
Experiment:
- vary electron beam energy (x-coordinate)
- measure photon energy (y-coordinate)

- nly a few eV accuracy needed
since effects are very large

More complex even: trielectronic and quadruelectronic recombination
- Resonant many-electron excitations contribute far
more to electronic recombination and Auger decay than expected.
- This affects radiative energy transfer in stars.
