Magnetic field induced transition rates in Ne- and Be-like ions for plasma diagnostics and E1M1 two-photon decay rate determination

• 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.
