Atomic decay data for modeling K lines of iron peak and light odd-Z elements

Abstract

Complete data sets of level energies, transition wavelengths, A-values, radiative and Auger widths and fluorescence yields for K-vacancy levels of the F, Na, P, Cl, K, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Cu and Zn isonuclear sequences have been computed by a Hartree-Fock method that includes relativistic corrections as implemented in Cowan's atomic structure computer suite. The atomic parameters for more than 3 million fine-structure K lines have been determined. Ions with electron number N > 9 are treated for the first time, and detailed comparisons with available measurements and theoretical data for ions with N ≤ 9 are carried out in order to estimate reliable accuracy ratings. © 2012 ESO.
