Theoretical transition energies and probabilities for He-, Li- and Be-like Praseodymium ions are calculated in the framework of the multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method (MCDF), including QED corrections. These calculated values are compared to recent experimental data obtained in the Livermore SuperEBIT electron beam ion trap facility.
Transition wavelengths and probabilities for several 2p4 3p - 2p4 3s and 2p4 3d - 2p4 3p lines in fuorine-like neon ion (NeII) have been calculated within the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) method with quantum electrodynamics (QED) corrections. The results are compared with all existing experimental and theoretical data.
The most important processes for the creation of S12+ to S14+ ions excited states from the ground configurations of S9+ to S14+ ions in an electron cyclotron resonance ion source, leading to the emission of K X-ray lines, are studied. Theoretical values for inner-shell excitation and ionization cross sections, including double KL and triple KLL ionization, transition probabilities and energies for the deexcitation processes, are calculated in the framework of the multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method. With reasonable assumptions about the electron energy distribution, a theoretical K$α$ X-ray spectrum is obtained, which is compared to recent experimental data.
Energies and transition probabilities of K$β$ hypersatellite lines are computed using the Dirac-Fock model for several values of $Z$ throughout the periodic table. The influence of the Breit interaction on the energy shifts from the corresponding diagram lines and on the K$β\_{1}^{\rm h}$/K$β\_{3}^{\rm h}$ intensity ratio is evaluated. The widths of the double-K hole levels are calculated for Al and Sc. The results are compared to experiment and to other theoretical calculations.
Energies of two-electron one-photon transitions from initial double K-hole states were computed using the Dirac-Fock model. The transition energies of competing processes, the K$α$ hypersatellites, were also computed. The results are compared to experiment and to other theoretical calculations.
