Abstract:
    Collision strengths for electron impact excitation of fine-structure
    levels in sulfur-like Fe XI are calculated in a semirelativistic
    R-matrix approach. The 38 fine-structure levels arising from the 20 LS
    states 3s^2^3p^4^ ^3^P, ^1^D, ^1^S; 3s3p^5^ ^3^P^0^, ^1^P^0^;
    3s^2^3p^3^(^4^S^0^)3d ^3^D^0^, 3s^2^3p^3^(^2^P^0^)3d ^1,3^P^0^,
    ^1,3^D^0^, ^1,3^F^0^, 3s^2^3p^3^(^2^D^0^)3d ^1,3^S^0^, ^1,3^P^0^,
    ^1,3^D^0^, ^1,3^F^0^ are included in our calculation. The target
    levels are represented by configuration interaction wave functions.
    The relativistic effects are considered in the Breit-Pauli
    approximation by including one-body mass correction, Darwin term, and
    spin-orbit terms in the scattering equations. Collision strengths for
    transitions from the 3s^2^3p^4^ ^3^P_2,1,0_ levels to the
    fine-structure levels of the 3s^2^3p^3^3d configuration are compared
    with the distorted-wave results of Bhatia & Doschek (1996) at 8.0,
    16.0, 24.0 ryd. There are some significant discrepancies between the
    two calculations, mostly caused by the difference in target wave
    functions. The collision strengths are integrated over a Maxwellian
    distribution of electron energies to obtain effective collision
    strengths over the temperature range from 5x10^5^ to 5x10^6^ K.
