The CHIANTI database consists of the following primary ASCII files for this ion:

  1. ca_11.elvlc (energy levels)
  2. contains the energy levels in cm^(-1) It includes both experimental and theoretical values of the levels energies.

     
    %energy levels (3,5,17,23,27,31,33,35,37,55,70): Martin,W.C., Sugar,J., Musgrove,A., Dalton,G.R., 
        1999, NIST Database for Atomic Spectroscopy, Version 2.0, NIST Standard Reference Database 61.
    %energy levels (4,7-10,13,14,19-22,24-26,44,52): Crance,M., 1973, Atomic Data, 5, 185
    %energy levels (59,60): Fawcett,B.C., Bromage,G.E., Hayes,R.W., 1979, MNRAS, 186, 113
    %energy levels (11,50,53,54,58,62): Kastner,S.O., Behring, W.E., Cohen,L., 1975, ApJ, 199, 777
    %Theoretical energy levels: Zhang, H. et al., ADNDT, 1987, 37, 17

  3. ca_11.wgfa (radiative data)
  4. contains wavelengths, gf and A values of the transitions. The wavelengths are based on the experimental energy levels and should be the best available. Wavelengths calculated from the theoretical energies are of an indeterminate accuracy and their values are presented as negative values of the calculated wavelength.

     
    %filename: ca_11.wgfa

    %oscillator strengths transitions involving the ground level: Zhang, H. et al., ADNDT, 1987, 37, 17
    %oscillator strengths transitions among the 2p53l configurations: Hibbert, Le Dourneuf, Mohan, ADNDT, 1993, 53, 23
    % All other radiative data: SSTRUCT calculation, with a 15 configuration model including:
    
                2s2.2p6,
                2s2.2p5{3s, 3p, 3d}, 2s.2p6{3s, 3p, 3d}
                2s2.2p5{4s, 4p, 4d, 4f}, 2s.2p6{4s, 4p, 4d, 4f}
    
    %comment: SSTRUCT radiative data have been corrected for the differences between experimental
              and theoretical energy levels, where possible.
    %comment: negative wavelengths have been computed using theoretical energy levels.

  5. ca_11.splups (electron collision data)
  6. contains the spline fits to the electron collision strengths scaled according the rules formulated by Burgess and Tully (1992). Accurate replication of the temperature averaged collision strength over a wide range of temperatures can be accomplished with the data in this file.
