Abstract
In view of the current interest of ion trap workers in the lifetime of the level in Yb II which may decay by electric octupole (E3) radiation to the ground level, we have used a pseudorelativistic Hartree-Fock method including configuration interaction and core polarization effects to estimate the value of the E3 matrix element . The calculated lifetime, , is in excellent agreement with the recent measurement due to Roberts et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 1876 (1997)] .
