Scientific paper

A dielectronic type recombination and autoionization process involving fine-structure states which is temporarily stabilized by collisions which change the angular momentum of a highly excited electron is analyzed. The stabilization lasts long enough to contribute to the populations involved in radio recombination lines; the relative contribution of these dielectronic processes depends on the temperature and electron density of the environment. The process is not important at low temperatures since the energies of most electrons in the gas are not adequate to excite the 2P(3/2) state of ionized carbon.
