• Spontaneous Emission: Ar⁺¹⁷(i) → Ar⁺¹⁷(j) + hv
• Electron Impact Excitation: Ar⁺¹⁷(i) + e → Ar⁺¹⁷(j) + e

  The above Maxwellian averaged rate coefficients are from a 25 level Breit-Pauli
  R-matrix calculation containing 300 transitions. The calculation included
  radiation damping

  The configurations included in the scattering calculations were:
  1s-5g

  The box size was 5.824 au, with 60 (N+1)-electron continuum basis oribitals per
  angular momentum with a maximum Hamiltonian dimension of 6600.

  The exchange calculation ran from JMIN=0 to JMAX=11 and the non-exchange calculation
  ran from JMIN=12 to JMAX=59

  The outer region calculation was split into two energy regions. Region 1
  ran from the first excitation threshold up to the ionization threshold
  and region 2 from the ionization threshold to four times the threshold.
  In region 1, the exchange calculation used 40,000 energy points and the non-exchange
  calculation used 400 energy points. In region 2, 200 energy points were used for
  both the exchange and non-exchange calculations.

  Theoretical energies were shifted to experimental NIST energies at stage 3.
