Dielectronic recombination has been investigated for ground-state Li+(
1s2s) and metastable Li+(1s2s) ions. Absolute recombination rates for
the convoluted sum of these configurations are obtained and compared w
ith theoretical calculations. Also, the effect of the space charge on
the energy of the observed resonances is investigated as well as the e
ffect of trapped residual, ions in reducing the effect of the space ch
arge.
