Abstract: 
We report measured rate coefficients for electron-ion recombination of Si10+ forming Si9+ and of Si9+ forming Si8+, respectively. The measurements were performed using the electron-ion merged-beams technique at a heavy-ion storage ring. Electron-ion collision energies ranged from 0 to 50. eV for Si9+ and from 0 to 2000. eV for Si10+, thus, extending previous measurements for Si-10+ (Orban et al 2010 Astrophys.. J. 721 1603) to much higher energies. Experimentally derived rate coefficients for the recombination of Si9+ and Si-10+ ions in a plasma are presented along with simple parameterizations. These rate coefficients are useful for the modeling of the charge balance of silicon in photoionized plasmas (Si9+ and Si10+) and in collisionally ionized plasmas (Si10+ only). In the corresponding temperature ranges, the experimentally derived rate coefficients agree with the latest corresponding theoretical results within the experimental uncertainties.
