Theoretical lifetimes,transition energies,fluorescence yields,and nonradiative branching ratios for highly excited states of lithium-like argon

We have calculated theoretical transition rates and transition energies for the states of the excited electron configurations, 1s 2s nl and 1s 2p nl, of lithium-like argon. The values of n considered range from n=2 to n=4 with all allowed values of l included, l=0 to l=n-1. We present numerical results for the theoretical lifetimes, transition energies, fluorescence yields, and nonradiative branching ratios. These quantities are related to the dielectronic recombination rates and cross sections of helium-like argon.
