Abstract

Absolute total cross sections for excitation of the Be-like ions C2+, N3+ and O4+ at electron energies close to the thresholds have been measured. For all three ions, cross sections for the resonance transition 2s2 1S → 2s2p 1P were determined. Theoretical cross sections calculated using close-coupling approximations are in reasonably good agreement with the measured cross sections. Some data were also obtained for transitions from the metastable 2s2p 3P states of C2+ and O4+.
