The process of recombination of an electron with a bare heavy nucleus via the creation of a free-positron–bound-electron pair is considered. This process is denoted as “negative-continuum dielectronic recombination” because it results in the capture of an incident electron into a bound state accompanied by a transition of a negative-continuum electron into a bound state. The calculations are performed for a wide range of incident electron energies for Z=82 and 92.
