Atomic Lifetime Data and Databases
Atomic-level lifetimes span a wide range, from attoseconds to years, relating to transition energy, multipole order, atomic core charge, relativistic effects, perturbation of atomic symmetries by external fields, and so on. Some parameters permit the application of simple scaling rules, others are s...

| description | Atomic-level lifetimes span a wide range, from attoseconds to years, relating to transition energy, multipole order, atomic core charge, relativistic effects, perturbation of atomic symmetries by external fields, and so on. Some parameters permit the application of simple scaling rules, others are sensitive to the environment. Which results deserve to be tabulated or stored in atomic databases? Which results require high accuracy to give insight into details of the atomic structure? Which data may be useful for the interpretation of plasma experiments or astrophysical observations without any particularly demanding accuracy threshold? Should computation on demand replace pre-fabricated atomic databases? |
