Lifting the baseline

(part of theme Heavy Element Spectoscopy and Models)

Objective

Enable user production of a level 1 set of explicit configuration average direct ionisation and excitation/auto-ionisation collisional rate data with Auger branching for complex ions. Enable user production of level 1 explicit state selective dielectronic recombination in the Burgess-Bethe General Program (BBGP) approximation for complex ions. Implement advanced parametric form adjustment for all ions of all elements using explicit data above to lift the baseline. Supply a revised baseline for a set of heavy elements for archiving and release in the ADAS database.

Specific tasks

• Test and release automated scripted code package for configuration average multi-configuration structure computation of ionisation and excitation/autoionisation cross-sections with ADAS adf23 and adf07 data production using promotional rule algorithms for any element up to radon.
• Enable post-processing of restricted AUTOSTRUCTURE calculations to generate BBGP drivers. Release BBGP model for state-selective state selective adf09 dielectronic coefficient production.
• Implement global scaling update of parametric forms used for baseline ionisation/recombination data production of format adf03 using above results.
• Revision. Timing is subject to laboratory responses and indeterminate at this stage.
