Electron-impact excitation of B+ using the R-matrix with pseudo-states method

We have carried out several R-matrix with pseudo-states (RMPS) calculations for the electron-impact excitation of B+. Maxwell-averaged effective collision strengths have been determined for excitations between the lowest 20 terms, including all those arising from the 2s3l and 2s4l configurations. A...
