Abstract Based on the multi-configuration Dirac--Fock method, theoretical calculations are carried out for the dielectronic recombination (DR) rate coefficients and the collision excitation rate coefficients of Sn10+ ions. It is found that the total DR rate coefficient has its maximum value between 10eV and 100eV and is greater than either the radiative recombination or three-body recombination rate coefficients (the number of free electrons per unit is 1021cm3) for the case of Te>1eV. Therefore, DR can strongly influence the ionization balance of laser produced multi-charged tin ions. The related dielectronic satellite cannot be ignored at low temperature Te <5eV.
