Collision strengths and rate coefficients of electron-impact excitation and photo-excitations of Ca IV
POSTER
Abstract
We will report various features of collision strengths ($\Omega$) for
electron-impact excitation and corresponding Maxwellian averaged
effective collision strengths of Ca IV obtained for 1431 excitations among
54 fine structure levels belonging to $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$,
$1s^22s^22p^63s3p^6$, $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^43d$, $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^44s$,
and $1s2^2s^2p^6 3s^33p^44p$ configurations. The first excitation of
wavelength 3.2 $\mu$m, forbidden $^2P_{3/2} - ^2P_{1/2}$ transition of
the ground configuration $3s^23p^5$, show prominent resonances in the
low and intermedicate energy range indicating high probability of detection
of Ca IV in the infrared region by the James Webb Space Telescope. We also
notice significant difference in strength between excitations from
$^2P_{3/2}$ and $^2P_{3/2}$ to $^2S_{1/2}$. The high lying dipole allowed
transitions show rising trend in $\Omega$. Calculations
were carried out using relativistic Breit-Pauli R-Matrix (BPRM) method.
We will also present an extensive set of photoexcitation parameters of
Ca IV of types E1, M1, E2, M2 among 387 levels obtained in Breit-Pauli
approximation using the code SUPERSTRUCTURE.
