Photoionization of Cl-like Argon using the Breit-Pauli R-matrix method

Here we present the photoionization cross sections for the ground and metastable states of Cl-like Argon by exploiting the fully relativistic Breit-Pauli R-matrix computer codes to determine these transitions of interest. We compare our work with previous theoretical and experimental results and present a detailed investigation into the model of Ar III, the resonant structure and identification process.

Comparison of Parallelised R-matrix codes for electron impact excitation of Cr II

A comparison of collision strengths and effective collision strengths has been undertaken for the Cr II ion based on the model of Wasson et al [2010 A & A. 524 A35]. Calculations have been completed using the Breit-Pauli, RMATRX II and DARC suites of codes.
