Abstract:
A database have been constructed for the recommended cross sections on electron-impact excitation and ionization of carbon atoms and ions C, C^+-C^5+, as well as charge-exchange processes between carbon ions C^+-C^6+ and hydrogen atoms. We have collected a large amount of theoretical and experimental cross section data from the literature, and have critically assessed their accuracy. The recommended cross sections, the best values for use, are expressed in a form of simple analytical functions. These are also presented in graphical form.
