Plasma screening effects on proton-impact excitation of Ar/sup 17+/

  • 1. Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138

Description

Quantal calculations of the proton-impact excitation of the n = 2 fine-structure levels of Ar/sup 17+/ in a dense plasma are carried out and compared to recent semiclassical impact-parameter calculations. The agreement is satisfactory and confirms the usefulness of the semiclassical approximation. The sensitivity of the cross sections to the form of the screening potentials is also investigated
