Experimental details are presented for the measurement of the effects of extrinsic electric fields on cross sections and Rydberg product-state distributions for dielectronic recombination of Mg/sup +/ with electrons. A new type of Rydberg state detector is described. Experimental results for dielectronic recombination in the presence of fields are presented for three field values, and these results are compared with theoretical calculations.
