Relativistic Random-Phase Approximation

Abstract
The relativistic random phase approximation RRPA is developed from linearized time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory. Applications of the resulting relativistic many-body equations to determine excitation energies and oscillator strengths along the He, Be, Mg, Zn and Ne isoelectronic sequences are discussed and compared with other recent experimental and theoretical work. The multi-channel RRPA treatment of photoionization is described and applications are given to total cross sections, branching ratios, angular distributions and to autoionizing resonances.
