Calculation of the polarization fraction and electron-impact excitation cross sectionfor the Cd+ (5 p) 2 P3/2 state

We present relativistic convergent close-coupling and Breit-Pauli R-matrix calculations for the polarization of the light emitted after electron-impact excitation of the (5s)2S1/2→(5p)2P3/2 transition in Cd+. While we find consistency between the theoretical predictions, a discrepancy persists with...
