The multichannel R-matrix method has been used to compute effective collision strengths for electron impact excitation of the P-sequence ion S II. Included in the expansion of the total wave function are the lowest 18 LS target eigenstates of S II, consisting of twelve n = 3 levels with configurations 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 3}, 3s3p{sup 4}, and 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 2}3d, and six n = 4 levels with configurations 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 2}4l (l = s, p). These 18 ionic states correspond to 43 fine-structure levels, leading to a total possible 903 independent transitions (including all forbidden, and allowed). The effective collision strengths which are obtained by averaging the electron collision strengths over a Maxwellian distribution of velocities are tabulated for all fine-structure transitions to include those between the n = 3 levels, those from the n = 3 to n = 4 states, and those between the n = 4 levels, for electron temperatures, T, in the range log T (K) = 3.5 to log T(K) = 5.0. The present results are compared with a variety of other close-coupling data and some significant differences are found to occur. In particular we find that resonances converging to the high lying 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 2}nlmore » levels enhance the effective collision strength for many of the forbidden transitions at low impact energies. 25 refs., 2 figs., 5 tabs.« less
