Calculated transition probabilities in highly charged Ti-like ions

A prominent spectral line in the optical range arises in Ti-like ions obser ved in electron beam ion traps (EBIT) around the world. This line has been heralded as an important diagnostic tool for hot fusion test plasmas. Using a Hartree-Fock approach including relativistic corrections and semi-empiri cal adjustments, wavelengths and transition probabilities have been calcula ted for M1 and E2 transitions involving the low-lying levels within the 3d( 4) configuration of titanium-like ions. The calculated value for the lifeti me of the D-5(3) level in Xe32+ is in agreement with a recent measurement i n an EBIT.
