Complex-rotation method for spin-induced autoionization

Abstract
We report the first complex-rotation calculation which incorporates spin-dependent perturbations. By using the intermediate LSJ coupling scheme, the lifetimes due to the spin-induced autoionization of the lithiumlike metastable (1s2s2p)P524 state are determined along the isoelectronic series for Z=210 and Z=1618. The results are compared with experimental measurements and other theoretical results.
