Abstract
The excitation of singlet levels of the singly charged scandium ion is experimentally studied in collisions of slow electrons with scandium atoms. At the exciting electron energy of 30 eV, 59 excitation cross sections are measured. In the electron energy range of 0–200 eV, seven optical excitation functions are recorded. On the basis of these data the total excitation cross sections are calculated for 11 even and 9 odd levels of Sc II, as well as the contribution of cascade population to 8 even and 7 odd levels.
