Photon Emission from Core-Excited Be I and Be II States

Abstract
Optical-emission spectra of core-excited Be I 5L and core-excited Be II 2L and 4L states have been studied by means of the beam-foil-excitation method. Multiconfigurational Hartree-Fock calculations have been performed for the optical transitions between the lower-lying Be I 5L states and between 1s2pnl (n = 2-4, l = 0-3) 2P0, 2Pe, 2D0, 2De, and 2Fe states in core-excited Be II 2L to facilitate the identifications. Some previously assigned core-excited Be II 4L transitions are shown to belong to either the core-excited Be I 5L or the core-excited Be II 2L spectrum. Additional identifications of core-excited Be II 2L transitions explain the main features of this spectrum. The identifications of Be II 1s2p4l 4L states are discussed.
