Abstract
A new approach to calculations of correlation effects is described and applied to neutral mercury. In this approach limited relativistic configuration mixing to represent intravalence correlation is combined with a polarisation model to account for valence-core correlation. Calculations without parameter adjustment give excitation energies and oscillator strengths for both the resonance transition 6s2 1S0-6s6p 1P1 and the intercombination line 6s2 1S0-6s6p 3P1 which are in good agreement with experiment.Keywords
