Electron-impact excitation of Ne+

We present the results of a 61-term, 138-level intermediate-coupling frame-transformation R-matrix close-coupling calculation of the electron-impact excitation of fluorine-like Ne+. All levels of the 2s(2) 2p(5), 2s2p(6), 2s(2) 2p(4)3l and 2s(2)2p(4)4l configurations that lie below the ionization limit are included in the close-coupling expansion. With the exception of several R-matrix calculations of excitation between the fine structure levels of 2s(2)2p(5) P-2, this represents the first close-coupling calculation for this ion. Here we describe this calculation and present radiative rates and effective collision strengths for a selected number of the 9453 transitions resulting from this work. The full set of data is available at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Controlled Fusion Atomic Data Center Web site.
