“…Such weak transitions (and discrepancies between different calculations) do not affect the modelling, or the subsequent calculations of lifetimes, τ = 1.0/Σ i A ji , which includes contributions from all types of transitions, i.e., E1, E2, M1, and M2. This is further confirmed by comparing our results for τ, included in Tables 6-8, for the lowest 27 levels of Sc XII in Table 11, with those of Hibbert et al [9] and Jönsson et al [10], for which the agreements are within 10% for most levels. Table 7.…”
