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 2s22p5, 2s2p6, 2s22p43l and 2s22p44l 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 2s22p52P, 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. (author)
