Stimulated radiative recombination has been demonstrated experimentally in and collisions using a merged electron - ion beams apparatus with field ionization detection of the excited neutral products. Enhancement of the recombination over spontaneous recombination to form the n=11, 12 and 13 levels of atomic hydrogen and the n = 11 and 12 levels of atomic helium by factors of between 1000 and 3000 have been found using a laser power of 8 W. Evidence for the resolution of fine-structure levels has been seen for the case of helium.
