Oscillator strengths,transition probabilities and lifetimes involving 2p 3s and 2p 3d singlet and triplet states for allowed transitions in OV

Configuration interaction wavefunctions are used to calculate energy separations, wavelengths, oscillator strengths (length and velocity forms), transition probabilities and lifetimes for absorption transitions to the 2p 3s and 2p 3d singlet and triplet states for OV. It is seen that, for transition from different states of the same symmetry, inclusion ofn=4 correlation orbitals in the wavefunction can have a quite different effect on the oscillator strengths. Comparison with recent beam-foil experimental data is generally good. A common set of radial fuctions is used.
