P. Bogdanovich et I. Martinson, Calculation of transition probabilities and lifetimes of the 4d(9)5p levels in AgII, PHYS SCR, 60(3), 1999, pp. 217-221
We report theoretical transition probabilities for all allowed transitions
between the lowest configurations in Ag II (4d(10), 4d(9)5s and 4d(9)5p) an
d lifetimes of all 4d(9)5p levels. The method of superposition-of-configura
tions, in fully ab initio form, was employed. Our results are in particular
ly good agreement with previous experimental and theoretical work (Biemont,
E. et at, J. Phys. B: At. Mel. Opt. Phys. 30, 2067 (1997)). Possible astro
physical applications are briefly discussed.
