Abstract:
Accurate theoretical energy level, lifetime, and transition
probability calculations of core-excited Fe XVI were performed
employing the relativistic Multireference Moller-Plesset perturbation
theory. In these computations the term energies of the highly excited
n≤5 states arising from the configuration 1s22sk2pm3lpnl'q,
where k+m+p+q=9, l≤3 and p+q≤2 are considered, including those of
the autoionizing levels with a hole-state in the L-shell. All even and
odd parity states of sodium-like iron ion were included for a total of
1784 levels. Comparison of the calculated L-shell transition
wavelengths with those from laboratory measurements shows excellent
agreement. Therefore, our calculation may be used to predict the
wavelengths of as of yet unobserved Fe XVI, such as the second
strongest 2p-3d Fe XVI line, which has not been directly observed in
the laboratory and which blends with one of the prominent Fe XVII
lines.
