Absolute cross sections for dielectronic recombination and electron-im
pact ionization of Li-like Cl14+ and Si11+ ions have been measured wit
h high energy resolution at the Heidelberg heavy ion storage ring TSR,
using the electron cooler as a flee electron target. Recombination an
d ionization rates were recorded simultaneously for the whole energy r
ange from 0 up to the second ionization threshold. We discuss excitati
on-autoionization steps, dielectronic ionization and dielectronic reco
mbination resonances associated with 1s --> 21 and Is --> 31 excitatio
ns. The results agree well with theory, but the distorted wave calcula
tions overestimate direct ionization by similar to 20%.
