The angular distribution and polarization of x rays emitted due to resonant recombination into highly charged ions were studied experimentally using an electron beam ion trap. In the first experiment, the linear polarization of x rays produced by dielectronic recombination into highly charged krypton ions was measured using the Compton polarimetry technique. In the second experiment, the electron-ion collision energy was scanned over the K-shell dielectronic, trielectronic and quadruelectronic recombination resonances in highly charged iron and krypton ions. The angular distribution of x rays following resonant recombination was measured by two detectors mounted along and perpendicular to the beam axis. The measured polarization and emission asymmetries comprehensively benchmarked full-order atomic calculations, confirming their suitability for the polarization diagnostics of hot plasmas under the premise of inclusion of higher order processes that were neglected in earlier work.
