Abstract

We have measured the cross section for the electron-impact excitation of

C^{+}

(2

s^{2}

2p

{}^{2}

P°→2s2

p^{2}

{}^{2})

in a colliding-beams apparatus for several collision energies near the threshold for the process. We find a cross section of (1.1±0.3)×

10^{- 16}

{cm}^{2}

at threshold. Reasonable agreement is found with close-coupling calculations.
