Theoretical study of energy levels and transition rates in Al-like Mo XXX

We present extended theoretical calculations of atomic parameters for the aluminum-like Mo XXX. The multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock method, accounting for the Breit interaction and quantum electrodynamics effects is used in the calculate. Energy levels and lifetimes for the 212 levels resulting from the (1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 ) 3s 2 3p, 3p 3 , 3s3p3d, 3s 2 3d, 3d 3 , 3s3p 2 , 3p3d 2 , 3p 2 3d, 3s3d 2 , 3s 2 4p, 3s 2 4f, 3s3p4s, 3s 2 4s, 3s3p4d, 3s 2 4d, and 3s3p4p configurations are presented. Wavelengths, transition energies, oscillator strengths , and transition probabilities among these configurations are given. The accuracy is carefully estimated by comparing the results with experimental data and values calculated using different gauges. This work provides an accurate data set that is expected to be useful in fusion research. • The most accurate and complete, as of today, atomic data in Mo XXX are provided. • The MCDF method is used to calculate the atomic parameters. • The present results are compared with the data in the literature. • The present work is useful for diagnostics of plasmas in fusion applications.
