Accurate data for dielectronic recombination of tungsten ions are essential in the modeling of tungsten impurity transport and radiative power loss in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor(ITER).Theoretical calculations have been made for dielectronic recombination(DR)rate coefficients of Br-like tungsten ions using a flexible relativistic atomic code(FAC)from 1 eV to 50 keV.Level-by-level calculations are carried out for evaluating the contributions to DR through all the relevant Kr-like tungsten ions autoionizing inner-shell excited configuration complexes:(3s^23p^63d^(10))^(-1)4s^24p^5nln'l'(n=4-5,n'=4-100,1'=0-8),(4s^24p^5)^(-1)nln'l'(n=4-6,n'=4-100,l'=0-12).Comparison of the rate coefficients for 3s,3p,3d,4s and 4p subshell excitations shows that the 4p subshell excitation dominates over the whole temperature region,4s subshell excitation at low temperature and 3p,3d subshell excitations at high temperature can not be neglected.In order to facilitate simple applications,the total DR rate coefficient,△n=0,1 and 2 core excitations DR rate coefficients are fitted to an empirical formula.
