“…This term refers to the high accuracy of experimental transition energies, and the level energies derived from these. Experimental techniques and calibration against frequency standards allow in general for determination of transition energies to an accuracy of 1 part in 10 5 -10 10 [4][5][6], excluding the spectacular frequency-comb measurements [7]. The knowledge of higher ionization stages is usually less complete in coverage than for neutral or singly ionized atoms, and for many elements, only the lowest levels and transitions are known.…”

Uncertainties of calculated transition rates in LS-allowed electric dipole transitions in boron-like O IV and carbon-like Fe XXI are estimated using an approach in which differences in line strengths calculated in length and velocity gauges are utilized. Estimated uncertainties are compared and validated against several high-quality theoretical data sets in O IV, and implemented in large scale calculations in Fe XXI.

“…Four of the lowest levels, 1s2p 1 P 1 , 1s2p 3 P 2 , 1s2p 3 P 1 , and 1s2s 3 S 1 , are often used to test QED effects in helium-like ions (Chantler et al 2000;Bruhns et al 2007;Kubiček et al 2009Kubiček et al , 2013Amaro et al 2012;Chantler et al 2012;Rudolph et al 2013;Schlesser et al 2013;Kasthurirangan et al 2013;Payne et al 2014;Beiersdorfer & Brown 2015;Epp et al 2015).

Aims. Helium-like ions provide an important X-ray spectral diagnostics in astrophysical and high-temperature fusion plasmas. An interpretation of the observed spectra provides information on temperature, density, and chemical compositions of the plasma. Such an analysis requires information for a wide range of atomic parameters, including energy levels and transition rates. Our aim is to provide a set of accurate energy levels and transition rates for helium-like ions with Z = 10-36. Methods. The second-order many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) was adopted in this paper. To support our MBPT results, we performed an independent calculation using the multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) method. Results. We provide accurate energies for the lowest singly excited 70 levels among 1snl (n ≤ 6, l ≤ (n − 1)) configurations and the lowest doubly excited 250 levels arising from the K-vacancy 2ln l (n ≤ 6, l ≤ (n − 1)) configurations of helium-like ions with Z = 10−36. Wavelengths, transition rates, oscillator strengths, and line strengths are calculated for the E1, M1, E2, and M2 transitions among these levels. The radiative lifetimes are reported for all the calculated levels. Conclusions. Our MBPT results for singly excited n ≤ 2 levels show excellent agreement with other elaborate calculations, while those for singly excited n ≥ 3 and doubly excited levels show significant improvements over previous theoretical results. Our results will be very helpful for astrophysical line identification and plasma diagnostics.

“…Furthermore, we would like to emphasize that this apparatus can also be applied for precision spectroscopy of heaviest helium-like ions (as well as other few-electron systems) which, taking into account the unprecedented resolution, would allow for resolving all the relevant fine structure levels for the first time. This is especially interesting in the light of the recent controversy with the comparison between the experimental and theoretical results for helium-like ions [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54].

Wavelength-dispersive spectroscopy in the hard x-ray regime of a heavy highly-charged ion: the 1s Lamb shift in hydrogen-like gold

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Accurate spectroscopy of highly-charged high-Z ions in a storage ring is demonstrated to be feasible by the use of specially adapted crystal optics. The method has been applied for the measurement of the 1s Lamb shift in hydrogen-like gold (Au +78 ) in a storage ring through spectroscopy of the Lyman x-rays. This measurement represents the first result obtained for a high-Z element using high-resolution wavelength-dispersive spectroscopy in the hard x-ray regime, paving the way for sensitivity to higherorder QED effects.
