A theoretical method for determining the effects of static applied electric fields F on the dielectronic recombination (DR) cross section sigma is described. Distorted-wave theory and the isolated resonance approximation are invoked, in an angular momentum average formalism. First, the intermediate-state Hamiltonian is diagonalised in a basis of high Rydberg state functions of fixed principal n and orbital magnetic m quantum numbers. Fine structure is included, and provision is made for the effects of field ionisation. Then, the explicitly F-dependent DR cross section, integrated over continuum electron energy e c , is obtained as Sigma n,m integral de c sigma nm (e c ) identical to Sigma n,m Omega nm identical to Omega tot . Results are displayed for ground-state sodium sequence ions of net charge Z 1
