- We report on theoretical results of magnetic field induced transitions (MITs) in Ne- and Be-like ions without nuclear spin for two applicalions. Firstly, MITs are promising candidates in the determination of magnetic fields in plasmas. In our work on Ne-like ions we present accurate theoretical MIT rates for 2p(6 1)S(O) - 2p(5)3s 3P(O),2 [11. Purthermore, for Be-like ions, it has been proposed to extract the rate of the BIM1 two-photon transition 2s(2 1)S(O) - 2s2p P-3(O) by measuring the lifetime of the 'Po state using a storage ring, which involves an external magnetic field. The MIT rates are carefully evaluated and shown to be of the same order as the ElMI rates [2].

- Synopsis We report on theoretical results of magnetic field induced transitions (MITs) in Ne- and Be-like ions without nuclear spin for two applications. Firstly, MITs are promising candidates in the determination of magnetic fields in plasmas. In our work on Ne-like ions we present accurate theoretical MIT rates for 2p6 1S0 − 2p53s 3P0 , 2 [1]. Furthermore, for Be-like ions, it has been proposed to extract the rate of the E1M1 two-photon transition 2s2 1S0 − 2s2p 3P0 by measuring the lifetime of the 3P0 state using a storage ring, which involves an external magnetic field. The MIT rates are carefully evaluated and shown to be of the same order as the E1M1 rates.

- In this work we report on ab initio theoretical results for the magnetic-field-induced 2s 2p 3P0 → 2s2 1S0 E1 transition for ions in the beryllium isoelectronic sequence between Z = 5 and 92. It has been proposed that the rate of the E1M1 two-photon transition 2s 2p 3P0 → 2s2 1S0 can be extracted from the lifetime of the 3P0 state in Be-like ions with zero nuclear spin by employing resonant recombination in a storage ring. This experimental approach involves a perturbing external magnetic field. The effect of this field needs to be evaluated in order to properly extract the two-photon rate from the measured decay curves. The magnetic-field-induced transition rates are carefully evaluated, and it is shown that, with a typical storage-ring field strength, it is dominant or of the same order as the E1M1 rate for low- and mid-Z ions. Results for several field strengths and ions are presented, and we also give a simple Z-dependent formula for the rate. We estimate the uncertainties of our model to be within 5% for low- and mid-Z ions and slightly larger for more highly charged ions. Furthermore we evaluate the importance of including both perturber states, 3P1 and 1P1, and it is s

- Unexpected transitions are induced by weaker interactions not included in the gross structure model of the ion under investigation. We discuss different examples of such decay channels, starting with relativistic spin-induced transitions. These represented an important field of study a few decades ago, and we illustrate how some challenging cases can be treated very accurately with today's computational techniques, while close degeneracy sometimes still prevents ab initio methods from obtaining accurate results. For hyperfine induced transitions we review some recent results and discuss remaining challenges for experiment and theory. Finally, we discuss the newly opened field of accurate calculations for transitions induced by an external magnetic field and point to some examples of where these are accessible for experimental tests.

- Computational atomic physics continues to play a crucial role in both increasing the understanding of fundamental physics (e.g., quantum electrodynamics and correlation) and producing atomic data for interpreting observations from large-scale research facilities ranging from fusion reactors to high-power laser systems, space-based telescopes and isotope separators. A number of different computational methods, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, is available to meet these tasks. Here, we review the relativistic multiconfiguration method as it applies to the General Relativistic Atomic Structure Package [grasp2018, C. Froese Fischer, G. Gaigalas, P. Jonsson, J. Bieron, Comput. Phys. Commun. (2018). DOI: 10.1016/j.cpc.2018.10.032]. To illustrate the capacity of the package, examples of calculations of relevance for nuclear physics and astrophysics are presented.

- grasp is a software package in Fortran 95, adapted to run in parallel under MPI, for research in atomic physics. The basic premise is that, given a wave function, any observed atomic property can be computed. Thus, the first step is always to determine a wave function. Different properties challenge the accuracy of the wave function in different ways. This software is distributed under the MIT Licence.

Theoretical investigation of magnetic-field-induced 2p(5)3s 3P(0,2)-2p(6) S-1(0) transitions in Ne-like ions without nuclear spin

- We report theoretical results for magnetic-field-induced 2p(5)3s 3P(0,2)-2p(6) S-1(0) E1 transitions in Ne-like ions with zero nuclear spin (I = 0) between Mg III and Zn XXI as well as in Ne I. We demonstrate that it is important to include both "perturber" states 2p(5)3s P-1(1) and 2p(5)3s P-3(1) in order to produce reliable transition rates. Furthermore, we investigate the trends of the rates along the isoelectronic sequence of the 2p(5)3s 3P(0,2)-2p(6) S-1(0) transitions and their competition with the 2p(5)3s P-3(0)-2p(5)3s P-3(1) M1 and the 2p(5)3s P-3(2)-2p(6) S-1(0) M2 decays. For the 2p(5)3s P-3(0) state the magnetic-field-induced transition becomes the dominant decay channel for the light elements even in a relatively weak magnetic field, and it will therefore prove useful in diagnostics of the strength of magnetic fields in different plasmas. The influence of an external magnetic field on the lifetime of the 2p(5)3s P-3(2) state is much smaller but still observable for the ions near the neutral end of the sequence. As a special case, the magnetic field effect on the lifetimes of 2p(5)3s P-3(0,2) states of neutral Ne-20 is discussed. It is found that the lifetimes are drastically reduced by a magnetic field, which may be an underlying reason for the discrepancies in the lifetime of the 2p(5)3s P-3(2) state between experiment [14.73(14) s] and theory (17.63 s).

- The ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) is derived from 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure recordings. We investigated whether the goodness-of-fit of the AASI regression line in individual subjects (r(2)) impacts on the association of AASI with established determinants of the relation between diastolic and systolic blood pressures. We constructed the International Database on the Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Relation to Cardiovascular Outcomes (7604 participants from 6 countries). AASI was unity minus the regression slope of diastolic on systolic blood pressure in individual 24-hour ambulatory recordings. AASI correlated positively with age and 24-hour mean arterial pressure and negatively with body height and 24-hour heart rate. The single correlation coefficients and the mutually adjusted partial regression coefficients of AASI with age, height, 24-hour mean pressure, and 24-hour heart rate increased from the lowest to the highest quartile of r(2). These findings were consistent in dippers and nondippers (night:day ratio of systolic pressure >or=0.90), women and men, and in Europeans, Asians, and South Americans. The cumulative z score for the association of AASI with these determinants of the relation between diastolic and systolic blood pressures increased curvilinearly with r(2), with most of the improvement in the association occurring above the 20th percentile of r(2) (0.36). In conclusion, a better fit of the AASI regression line enhances the statistical power of analyses involving AASI as marker of arterial stiffness. An r(2) value of 0.36 might be a threshold in sensitivity analyses to improve the stratification of cardiovascular risk.
