Description

Collision strengths are presented for electron impact excitation among the eight lowest LS states (corresponding to 15 levels including the splitting of the doublet and quartet terms) of Si II calculated using the R-matrix method. These collision strengths are used to deduce effective collision strengths, adopting a Maxwellian electron energy distribution for electron temperatures (Te) between log Te=3.6 and 4.6. Results are presented for all transitions amongst the seven lowest levels and also for transitions from the ground state 3s23p2PJ levels to more excited states. (author)
