The B-spline R-matrix and the convergent close-coupling methods are used to study electron collisions with neutral beryllium over an energy range from threshold to 100 eV. Coupling to the target continuum significantly affects the results…
Low-energy electron impact excitations of S_2 molecules are studied using the fixed-bond R-matrix method based on state-averaged complete active space SCF orbitals. Integral cross sections are calculated for elastic electron collision as…

We observed elastic collisions between laser-cooled fermionic lithium atoms and calcium ions at the energy range from 100 mK to 3 K. Lithium atoms in an optical-dipole trap were transported to the center of the ion trap using an optical…
Application of the convergent close-coupling (CCC) method to electron-impact ionization of the ground state of atomic hydrogen is considered at incident energies of 15.6, 17.6, 20, 25, 27.2, 30, 54.4, 150 and 250 eV. Total through to fully…

Differential cross sections for electron collisions with the O$_2$ molecule in its ground ${X}^{3}\Sigma_g^-$ state, as well as excited ${a}^{1}\Delta_g$ and ${b}^{1}\Sigma_g^+$ states are calculated. As previously, the fixed-bond R-matrix…
The single-centre convergent close-coupling approach to ion-atom collisions has been extended to model collisions involving arbitrary multi-electron atoms and partially stripped ions. This is accomplished by generating a set of target…
Electron-atom collisions in warm dense plasmas are crucial for astrophysics and controlled fusion research, where calculating short-range scattering matrices under screening plasma potentials is essential. While electron-neutral atom…

Emission and absorption features from C-like ions serve as temperature and density diagnostics of astrophysical plasmas. $R$-matrix electron-impact excitation data sets for C-like ions in the literature merely cover a few ions, and often…
