Description:
    The effective collision strengths are presented in this table for
    all transitions among the lowest 30 fine-structure levels belonging
    to the 2s22p, 2s2p2, 2p3, 2s2p3s, 2s23l (l=s,p,d) and
    2s24l (l=s,p,d,f) configurations of C II. The effective collision
    strengths have been calculated using the R-matrix method. Each
    fine-structure level is assigned an index number in Table 1 of the
    manuscript ranging from 1 to 30. These index values are used here in
    Table 2 to refer to particular transitions, eg. Index 2-8 denotes the
    transition 2s22p 2PO(J=3/2) - 2s2p2 3SE(J=1/2). The effective
    collision strengths for each transition are presented in rows for
    a number of electron temperatures ranging from log10(T)=3.00 to
    log10(T)=5.50.

   assignments of level indices to the target states are given. The observed
   values are the experimental energy levels compiled by NIST.
