Cooling rate of thermal electrons by electron impact excitation of fine structure levels of atomic oxygen

The atomic oxygen fine structure cooling rate of thermal electrons based on new effective collision strengths for electron impact excitation of the ground-state <sup>3</sup>P fine-structure levels in atomic oxygen have been fitted to an analytical expression which is available to the...
