Abstract:
The Breit-Pauli R-matrix method developed under the Iron Project has
been used to obtain extensive sets of oscillator strengths and
transition probabilities for dipole allowed and intercombination fine
structure transitions in carbon like ions, Ar XIII and Fe XXI. The
complete set consists of 1274 fine structure bound energy levels and
198259 oscillator strengths for Ar XIII, and 1611 bound levels and
300079 oscillator strengths for Fe XXI. These correspond to levels of
total angular momenta of 0<=J<=7 of even and odd parities formed from
total spin of 2S+1=5, 3, 1, and orbital angular momenta 0<=L<=9 with
n<=10, 0<=l<=9 for each ion. The relativistic effects are included in
the Breit-Pauli approximation. The close coupling wavefunction
expansion for each ion is represented by the lowest 15 fine structure
levels of target configurations, 2s^2^2p, 2s2p^2^ and 2p^3^. The
energy levels are identified spectroscopically using a newly developed
identification procedure. The procedure also makes a correspondence
between the fine structure energy levels and LS terms. This provides
the check for completeness of the calculated levels. Comparison is
made of the present energies and the f-values with the available
observed and theoretical values. Present transition probabilities
agree very well with the relativistic atomic structure calculations of
Mendoza et al. for the intercombination transitions,
2s2p^3^(^5^S{deg}_2_) - 2s^2^2p^2^(^3^P_1,2_,^1^D_2_). This further
indicates that the importance of the neglected Breit interaction
decreases with ion charge and constrains the uncertainty in the
present calculations to within 15% even for the weak transitions.

Description of file: tranar13.dat, tranfe21.dat
First line - The two numbers in the table are the nuclear charge
(Z = 18 for Ar XIII and Z = 26 for Fe XXI)
and the number of electrons (N_{elc} = 6) in the ion, Ar XIII or Fe XXI.
Below the above line, sets of transitions of a pair of symmetries
J{pi} - J'{pi}' are given.
For each set:
The first line - 2Ji, parity {pi} (=0 for even and =1 for odd),
2Jk and {pi}k, the symmetries of transitions.
The second line - N_{Ji} and N_{Jk}, the number of bound levels for
of the two symmetries.
This line is followed by N_{Ji} x N_{Jk} number of transitions.
For each transition the first two columns are the level indices, I_i_
and I_k_ for the energies.
The third and the fourth columns are the energies, E_i_ and E_k_.
The fifth column is gf_L_ where g=2J+1 (J is the total angular momentum
of the lower level).
The sixth column is S (line strength).
The last column is the transition probability, A_{ki}(sec^-1^).
If a gf-value is negative the lower level is i (absorption) and if it is
positive, the lower level is k (emission). The identification of the
transition can be determined from the levels of indices I_i_ and I_k_
in Table 2a for tranar13.dat and Table 3a for transfe21.dat.
