Electric dipole transitions for highly excited states in helium-like sulphur

Abstract

We have calculated relativistic energies, weighted oscillator strengths and transition probabilities for electric dipole (El) transitions among the terms belonging to 1snl (n <= 9, l <= 3) configurations in helium-like sulphur. The calculations are based upon the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method within the framework of Breit-Pauli relativistic corrections. Our calculated values are also compared with other experimental and theoretical results. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
