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

  1. ne_10.elvlc (energy levels)
  2. contains the energy levels in cm^(-1) It includes both experimental and theoretical values of the levels energies.

     
    %observed energy levels: Ralchenko Y., Jou, F.C., Kelleher, D.E., Kramida, A.E.,
       Musgrove, A., Reader, J., Wiese, W.L., Olsen, K., 2005, NIST Atomic Spectra Database, Version 3.0
    %theoretical energy levels: Ballance, Badnell, and Smith, 2003, J.Phys.B, 36, 3707
    %produced as part of the Arcetri/Cambridge/NRL 'CHIANTI' atomic data base collaboration

  3. ne_10.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.

  5. ne_10.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.

     
    
    %filename: ne_10.splups
    %oscillator strengths: Ballance, Badnell, and Smith 2003, J.Phys.B, 36, 3707
    %effective collision strengths: Ballance, Badnell, and Smith 2003, J.Phys.B, 36, 3707
    %comment: Rmatrix calculation in LS coupling up to n=6
    %comment: The  fine structure collision strengths have been obtained assuming a 
        distribution according to statistical weights
    %comment: The oscillator strengths provided by Ballance et al 2003 are in LS coupling and
        they have been adjusted according to the statistical weights
    %comment: only collision strenghts from the first two levels are retained
    %comment: the effective collision strengths are calculated in the temperature range 2x10^5 - 2x10^7 K.
