Abstract
New systematic trend curves for the oscillator strengths of the 4s4p resonance transitions of Cu- and Zn-like ions have been derived from a critical analysis. This analysis takes into account recent theoretical results as well as a simulation study of cascade effects in beam-foil experiments which showed that the currently available experimental data for high ions may be too low by as much as 40-70%. The new analysis yields reliable interpolated data for many ions within the Cu and Zn isoelectronic sequences.
