Contribution to the theoretical investigation of electron and photon interaction with carbon atom and its ions

Abstract

Abstract. This work presents results from the theoretical investigation of electron and photon interaction with carbon atoms and its Be-like ion. After an introductory survey on the existing reported theoretical works, we present results from the calculation of energy levels and oscillator strengths for selected transitions in neutral carbon. We also report results from the detailed state selective photo-recombination study in Be-like C 2+ ions.
