Energy levels and strong electric dipole transitions in magnesium-like gold

We have reported the energy levels and strong electric dipole transition parameters such as wavelengths, weighted oscillator strengths and transition rates (or probabilities) in magnesium-like gold (Au67+, Z=79) using AUTOSTRUCTURE atomic code. Recently reported data for heavy Au ions and Au plasma diagnostics are important, in particular for modeling of M-shell spectra of Au ions. In calculations, we have considered the correlation, relativistic and quantum electrodynamics effects. The obtained results have been compared with those from other works. All lines obtained from electric dipole transitions have been also presented. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd
