Radiative lifetimes and transition probabilities for electric-dipoleΔn=0transitions in highly stripped sulfur ions

Abstract
The beam-foil time-of-flight method has been used to investigate radiative lifetimes and transition rates involving Δn=0 allowed transitions within the L shell of highly ionized sulfur. The results for these transitions, which can be particularly correlation sensitive, are compared to current calculations based upon multiconfigurational models.
