Multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock wavelengths and transition rates in the X-ray spectra of highly charged Ga-like ions from Yb39+ to U61+

A multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) technique has been used for computing the wavelengths and transition probabilities for lines in the X-ray spectra of the gallium-like ions from Yb XL to U LXII. Results are presented for the 4s24p-4s24d and 4s24p-4s4p2 allowed transitions (E1) as well as for the forbidden transitions (M1 and E2) within the ground configuration 4s24p. A comparison of the calculated wavelengths with the few experimental results available is also presented.
