ASSESSMENT OF PROTON-IMPACT EXCITATION RATE-COEFFICIENT DATA OF RELEVANCE TO THE SOHO MISSION

Calculations of proton-impact fine-structure excitation of the Be-to C l-like ions for elements from C to Ni are compiled and assessed, in li ne with the exercise recently carried out for electron-impact excitati on data relevant to the analysis of experiments on the Solar and Helio spheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft and published in this journal [V ol, 57, Nos. 1/2 (1994)]. References for individual transitions are pr esented in tabular form for each isoelectronic sequence considered, to gether with their estimated relative accuracy. (C) 1997 Academic Press .
