  We have measured the resonance strengths and energies for dielectronic
recombination (DR) of Fe XX forming Fe XIX via N=2 --> N'=2 (Delta_N=0) core
excitations. We have also calculated the DR resonance strengths and energies
using AUTOSTRUCTURE, HULLAC, MCDF, and R-matrix methods, four different
state-of-the-art theoretical techniques. On average the theoretical resonance
strengths agree to within <~10% with experiment. However, the 1 sigma standard
deviation for the ratios of the theoretical-to-experimental resonance strengths
is >~30% which is significantly larger than the estimated relative experimental
uncertainty of <~10%. This suggests that similar errors exist in the calculated
level populations and line emission spectrum of the recombined ion. We confirm
that theoretical methods based on inverse-photoionization calculations (e.g.,
undamped R-matrix methods) will severely overestimate the strength of the DR
process unless they include the effects of radiation damping. We also find that
the coupling between the DR and radiative recombination (RR) channels is small.
We have used our experimental and theoretical results to produce
Maxwellian-averaged rate coefficients for Delta_N=0 DR of Fe XX. For kT>~1 eV,
which includes the predicted formation temperatures for Fe XX in an optically
thin, low-density photoionized plasma with cosmic abundances, our experimental
and theoretical results are in good agreement. We have also used our R-matrix
results, topped off using AUTOSTRUCTURE for RR into J>=25 levels, to calculate
the rate coefficient for RR of Fe XX. Our RR results are in good agreement with
previously published calculations.
