The relativistic R-matrix method is used to calculate the total photoionization cross sections from the ground state 1s22s2 1S0 of Al X for photon energies ranges from the first ionization threshold to just above the eighth threshold of the residual ion Al XI. In this work, the relativistic distorted-wave method is employed to calculate the fine-structure energy levels and radial functions. The lowest eight level target states of Al XI are used in the photoionization calculations of Al X and should provide a reasonably complete database for practical application for photoionization cross section for Al X. The resonance energy levels and widths of 18 Rydberg series have been investigated.

The photoionization cross section calculation for the ground state 1s22s22p6 1S (J = 0) of Ne-like W64+ has been performed in the close-coupling approximation using the Dirac–Coulomb R-matrix method. The resonance structures are analysed and described by finding the resonance energy positions of prominent Rydberg series 2s2p6(2S)np 1P0 for W LXV ion. To calculate fine structure energy levels, multi-configuration Dirac–Fock and relativistic distorted-wave methods have been employed. Wherever possible we have compared our work with the available data. The present results will be useful for diagnostics and modeling of plasma in ITER and other fusion devices.

In this study, photoionization (PI) of nickel ions Ni XII is performed using the relativistic close-coupling Breit–Pauli R-matrix method. The calculation includes 47 lowest target states of Ni XIII, which have been evaluated using a sophisticated configuration interaction technique. Results for the PI of the ground state 3s23p5 (2[Formula: see text]) and first excited state 3s23p5 (2[Formula: see text]) are provided. The PI of this Cl-like ion is characterized by multiple Rydberg series of autoionizing resonances converging to various ionic states of Ni XIII. Our background cross section agrees well with that obtained using the Los Almos National Laboratory PI code. The resonance energy levels and widths of the Rydberg series are presented using the Quigley and Berrington approach. We believe that our results will be useful for astrophysical plasma research.

The K-shell photoionization cross section of Be-like nitrogen (N IV) from the ground state is studied with the R-matrix and distorted-wave method for photon energies from 5.7 to 41.2 Ry. The close-coupling expansion includes 34 target states of N V with the 13 configurations in the LS-coupling scheme. The resonance energies, quantum defect and widths of 18 series of autoionization are determined from QB method and agree with these by cross sections. Our theoretical resonance energies and widths are compared with the existing experiments on the Auger spectra and other theoretical results. The results show that the calculated resonance energies are in rather good agreement with the experiment on the Auger spectra. For the autoionization width of some resonance states, good agreement is also found with recent theoretical results wherever available obtained using a saddle-point complex-rotation method.

High-resolution K-shell photoionization cross-sections for the C-like atomic nitrogen ion (N+) are reported in the 398 eV (31.15 Å) to 450 eV (27.55 Å) energy (wavelength) range. The results were obtained from absolute ion-yield measurements using the SOLEIL synchrotron radiation facility for spectral bandpasses of 65 meV or 250 meV. In the photon energy region 398–403 eV, 1s⟶2p autoionizing resonance states dominated the cross section spectrum. Analyses of the experimental profiles yielded resonance strengths and Auger widths. In the 415–440 eV photon region 1s⟶(1s2s22p2 4P)np and 1s⟶(1s2s22p2 2P)np resonances forming well-developed Rydberg series up n=7 and n=8 , respectively, were identified in both the single and double ionization spectra. Theoretical photoionization cross-section calculations, performed using the R-matrix plus pseudo-states (RMPS) method and the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) approach were bench marked against these high-resolution experimental results. Comparison of the state-of-the-art theoretical work with the experimental studies allowed the identification of new resonance features. Resonance strengths, energies and Auger widths (where available) are compared quantitatively with the theoretical values. Contributions from excited metastable states of the N+ ions were carefully considered throughout.

The close-coupling R-matrix method has been used to calculate photoionization cross sections for the ground and the lowest three excited states using the relativistic Breit–Pauli approximation. Configuration interaction wave-functions are used to represent eleven lowest LSJ target states of Si VI retained in the R-matrix expansion. Relativistic effects are clearly revealed from resonance converging on the excited states of Si VI.PACS No.: 32.80.Fb

We report the new extensive calculations for collision strengths and effective collision strengths of Electron impact excitation of fine structure transitions in F-like W using fully relativistic Dirac Atomic R-matrix Code. We have included all 113 target states which belong to 2s22p5, 2s2p6, 2s22p43l, 2s2p53l, 2p63l configurations. The convergence of reported collision strengths is tested by performingthe same calculations for lesser number of target states which verify the individuality of our results.Effective collision strengthsover a wide temperature range 104-107K are computed. Further, to assess the accuracy and authenticity of our target states energies, a similar parallel calculation has also been performed using a fully relativistic distorted wave (RDW) method and a comparison of energy levels with NIST, FAC and other experimental observations has been made. We believe that the collision strength results for all forbidden transitions within the 113 fine structure levels, presented in this paper will play a substantial role in fusion plasma diagnostics.

Auger decay following inner-shell photoexcitation of atomic beryllium is studied using the University College London close-coupling codes. We reproduce some of the features observed experimentally by Krause and co-workers. The vastly predominant decay mode of Be 1s2s2np1P° is to Be+ 1s2np rather than the ground state of Be+ and the theoretical np/2s ratio agrees with the experimental value. The peak observed in the partial photoionization cross section for formation of 1s(2s2p3P) 2P° is due to photoexcitation of 1s2s(3s3p3P) 1P° followed by autoionization. Our theoretical result reproduces this feature. Strong configuration interaction effects limit the accuracy we can achieve for the radiationless decay width.

We carried out accurate quantum wave packet as well as quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) calculations for H + CaCl (νi = 0, ji = 0) reaction occurring on an adiabatic ground state. Recent ab initio potential energy surface is employed to calculate the quantum and QCT reaction probabilities for several partial waves (J = 0, 10, and 20) as well as state resolved QCT integral and differential cross sections.

We have used the nonrelativistic convergent close-coupling (CCC) method to investigate electron scattering from the ground (6s2)1S state and excited (6s6p)1 Po1 and (6s5d)1,3De2 states of barium. For the scattering from the barium ground state, we have found very good agreement with measurements of (6s6p)1 Po1 apparent cross sections at all energies. Similarly, good agreement is found for differential cross sections for elastic scattering and (6s6p)1 Po and (6s5d)1 De2 excitations and with the (6s6p)1 Po1 state electron{photon angular correlations. For the scattering from excited states of barium we have found good agreement with elastic (6s6p)1 Po1 scattering and the (6s5d)1De2 → (6s6p)1 Po1 transition for both differential cross sections and electron–photon angular correlations.
