We present benchmark integrated and differential cross-sections for electron collisions with H$_2$ using two different theoretical approaches, namely, the R-matrix and molecular convergent close-coupling (MCCC). This is similar to comparative studies conducted on electron-atom collisions for H, He and Mg. Electron impact excitation to the $b ^3Sigma_u^+$, $a ^3Sigma_g^+$, $B ^1Sigma_u^+$, $c ^3Pi_u$, $EF ^1Sigma_g^+$, $C ^1Pi_u$, $e ^3Sigma_u^+$, $h ^3Sigma_g^+$, $B ^1Sigma_u^+$ and $d ^3Pi_u$ excited electronic states are considered. Calculations are presented in both the fixed nuclei and adiabatic nuclei approximations, where the latter is shown only for the $b ^3Sigma_u^+$ state. Good agreement is found for all transitions presented. Where available, we compare with existing experimental and recommended data.

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 for transit
ions from the ground state, but to a lesser extent the strong transitions between excited states. Cross sections are presented for selected transitions between low-lying physical bound states of beryllium, as well as for elastic scattering, momentum transfer, and ionization. The present cross sections for transitions from the ground state from the two methods are in excellent agreement with each other, and also with other available results based on nonperturbative convergent pseudo-state and time-dependent close-coupling models. The elastic cross section at low energies is dominated by a prominent shape resonance. The ionization from the $(2s2p)^3P$ and $(2s2p)^1P$ states strongly depends on the respective term. The current predictions represent an extensive set of electron scattering data for neutral beryllium, which should be sufficient for most modeling applications.
There are major discrepancies between recent B-spline R-matrix (BSR) and Dirac Atomic R-matrix Code (DARC) calculations regarding electron-impact excitation rates for transitions in Mg$^{4+}$, with claims that the DARC calculations are much more accu
rate. To identify possible reasons for these discrepancies and to estimate the accuracy of the various results, we carried out independent BSR calculations with the same 86 target states as in the previous calculations, but with a different and more accurate representation of the target structure. We find close agreement with the previous BSR results for the majority of transitions, thereby confirming their accuracy. At the same time the differences with the DARC results are much more pronounced. The discrepancies in the final results for the collision strengths are mainly due to differences in the structure description, specifically the inclusion of correlation effects, and due to the likely occurrence of pseudoresonances. To further check the convergence of the predicted collision rates, we carried out even more extensive calculations involving 316 states of Mg$^{4+}$. Extending the close-coupling expansion results in major corrections for transitions involving the higher-lying states and allows us to assess the likely uncertainties in the existing datasets.
Neutral tungsten is the primary candidate as a wall material in the divertor region of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The efficient operation of ITER depends heavily on precise atomic physics calculations for the determi
nation of reliable erosion diagnostics, helping to characterise the influx of tungsten impurities into the core plasma. The following paper presents detailed calculations of the atomic structure of neutral tungsten using the multiconfigurational Dirac-Fock method, drawing comparisons with experimental measurements where available, and includes a critical assessment of existing atomic structure data. We investigate the electron-impact excitation of neutral tungsten using the Dirac R-matrix method and, by employing collisional-radiative models, we benchmark our results with recent Compact Toroidal Hybrid measurements. The resulting comparisons highlight alternative diagnostic lines to the widely used 400.88nm line.
A comprehensive study of relativistic and resonance effects in electron impact excitation of (e+Fe XVII) is carried out using the BPRM method in the relativistic close coupling approximation. Two sets of eigenfunction expansions are employed; first,
up to the n = 3 complex corresponding 37 fine-structure levels (37CC) from 21 LS terms; second, up to the n = 4 corresponding to 89 fine-structure levels (89CC) from 49 LS terms. In contrast to previous works, the 37CC and the 89CC collision strengths exhibit considerable differences. Denser and broader resonances due to n = 4 are present in the 89CC results both above and {it below} the 37 thresholds, thus significantly affecting the collision strengths for the primary X-ray and EUV transitions within the first 37 n = 3 levels. Extensive study of other effects on the collision strengths is also reported: (i) electric and magnetic multipole transitions E1, E2, E3 and M1, M2, (ii) J-partial wave convergence of dipole and non-dipole transitions, (iii) high energy behaviour compared to other approximations. Theortical results are benchmarked against experiments to resolve longstanding discrepancies -- collision strengths for the three prominent X-ray lines 3C, 3D and 3E at 15.014, 15.265, and 15.456 AA are in good agreement with two independent measurements on Electron-Beam-Ion-Traps (EBIT). Finally, line ratios from a collisional-radiative model using the new collisional rates are compared with observations from stellar coronae and EBITs to illustrate potential applications in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas.
A theoretical investigation of the dissociative excitation by electron impact on the NO molecule is presented, aiming to make up for the lack of data for this process in the literature. A full set of vibrationally-resolved cross sections and correspo
nding rate coefficients are calculated using the Local-Complex-Potential approach and five resonant states of NO^-.
