Generalized collisional radiative model for light elements: C: Data for the B isonuclear sequence

Abstract

A first stage collision database is assembled which contains electron-impact excitation, ionization, and recombination rate coefficients for B, B+, B2+, B3+, and B4+. The first stage database is constructed using the R-matrix with pseudostates, time-dependent close-coupling, and perturbative distorted-wave methods. A second stage collision database is then assembled which contains generalized collisional-radiative ionization, recombination, and power loss rate coefficients as a function of both temperature and density. The second stage database is constructed by solution of the collisional-radiative equations in the quasi-static equilibrium approximation using the first stage database. Both collision database stages reside in electronic form at the IAEA Labeled Atomic Data Interface (ALADDIN) database and the Atomic Data Analysis Structure (ADAS) open database.
