Scientific paper

Proton collisional excitation cross sections and rate constants are presented for transitions between the fine-structure levels of the p4 3P ground terms for ions belonging to the oxygen (F II-S IX) and sulfur (Cl II-Ni XIII) isoelectronic sequences. A symmetrized semiclassical impact parameter method was used involving direct integration of the Schrödinger equation for electric quadrupole excitation. The effects on the 3PJ → 3PJ' cross sections of truncating the interaction matrix from the five-level ground configuration basis to the three-level ground term basis is determined for Ni XIII, where the situation is most extreme; the cross sections in this case increase by at most 10-1 5%o depending on the transition.
