Fine-structure Transitions of Ne+, Ar+, Ne2+, and Ar2+ Induced by Collisions with Atomic Hydrogen
We calculate cross sections for fine-structure transitions of Ne ^+ , Ar ^+ , Ne ^2+ , and Ar ^2+ in collisions with atomic hydrogen by using quantum-mechanical methods. Relaxation rate coefficients are calculated for temperatures up to 10,000 K. The temperature-dependent critical densities for the...
