Abstract
Recent experiments have revealed discrepancies between calculated and exper imental lifetimes in the lowest excited level of some chlorine-like ions. N ew ab initio oscillator strengths using the Breit-Pauli R-matrix method are provided for the 3s(2)3p(5) P-2(3/2),(1/2)degrees -3s3p(6) S-2(1/2)e trans ition in Cl-like Ar a through to Cu XIII. Our calculated lifetimes for thes e twelve ions are respectively 5.507, 2.077, 1.177, 0.784, 0.569, 0.438, 0. 350, 0.287, 0.241, 0.206, 0.178 and 0.156 ns, and are more consistent with experiments than other calculations.
