Energy Levels and Radiative Lifetimes for Four Times Ionized Xenon (Xe V)

By employing the general-purpose relativistic atomic structure package (GRASP) based on the fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) method, energies and radiative lifetimes of levels have been reported for four times ionized xenon (Xe V). In calculations, the Breit interactions for relativistic effects, quantum electrodynamical (QED) contributions have been included as a perturbation, as well as electron correlation effects (VV, CV, and CC). We have compared the results obtained from this work with other available experimental and theoretical values in available literature for Xe V. We have obtained good agreement with previous works.
