- Summary
- Calculations of atomic data for applications to fusion energy research are outlined, and a summary of all the results obtained for both ionization and excitation are given. The most recent results obtained within the past eight months since the present grant took effect are the following: (1) the determination of the branching ratios or relative probabilities for the final state of the core or next stage of ionization when a complex ion is excited to a very high bound level or the continuum (ionization). These branching ratios apply for either collisional or radiative transitions; (2) the determination of the resonance contribution to excitation rates for all 21 transitions involving the ground level and/or the singly excited n = 2 levels in 18 He-like ions; (3) the collision strengths and oscillator strengths for all the 88 fine structure transitions from the ground level to the singly excited levels with n = 3 and 4 in 18 Neon-like ions. Recent work on a new quasirelativistic approach is also briefly discussed. 51 refs.
