Laser spectroscopy experiments on autoionizing states of alkaline earth atoms allow the inverse process, dielectronic recombination, to be studied in great detail under controlled and variable conditions. The research is also relevant to problems in physical chemistry involving excited molecules, and it has helped to clarify the physical processes of zero kinetic energy electron spectroscopy and coherent control
