Absolute Cross Sections for2s2pExcitation ofC3+by Electron Impact

Abstract
Absolute cross sections have been measured for excitation of the 2sS1222pP12,322 resonance doublet in Li-like C3+ by electron impact for energies ranging from below threshold (8.0 eV) to 530 eV. The measurements agree with recent unpublished Coulomb-Born and close-coupling calculations over the entire range of electron energies.
