Electron-impact excitation of Ne5+

We present the results of an 83-term, 180-level intermediate-coupling frame-transformation (ICFT) R-matrix close-coupling calculation of the electronimpact excitation of boron-like Ne 5,. All levels of the 2S(2)2p, 2s2p(2), 2p(3), 2s(2)3l, 2s(2)4l, 2s(2)p3l, 2p(2)3l, 2s2p4s, 2s2p4p, and 2s2p4d configurations are included in the close-coupling expansion. This sizable calculation was performed using our new ICFT R-matrix codes designed for distributed-memory parallel computers. We compare our results from this calculation with those from our 11-term 20-level ICFT calculation and an earlier eight-term 15-level R-matrix calculation. Here we describe the nature of these calculations and present radiative rates and effective collision strengths for a selected number of the 16110 transitions resulting from this work. The fall set of data is available at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Controlled Fusion Atomic Data Center Web site.
