Relativistic $\mathsf{K}$ shell decay rates and fluorescence yields for Zn, Cd and Hg

In this work we use the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method to calculate the transition probabilities for all possible decay channels, radiative and radiationless, of a $K$ shell vacancy in Zn, Cd and Hg atoms. The obtained transition probabilities are then used to calculate the corresponding fluorescence yields, which are compared to existing theoretical, semi-empirical and experimental results
