New results obtained in spontaneous xenon spectrum employing a conventional pulsed gaseous laser tube as light source, are presented in this work. A total of 626 spectral lines has been ionically assigned as follows: 50 to Xe II spectrum, 103 to Xe III spectrum, arid 222 to Xe IV spectrum. 30 Lines previously assigned to Xe II were reassigned as belonging to Xe III, 94 lines were assigned with some doubts to Xe II-III spectrum and 84 lines to Xe Ill-IV spectrum. Also there were classified 43 lines of Xe II.Nuevos resultados obtenidos en el espectro del xenon espontaneo logrado mediante la utilizacion de un tuba de laser gaseoso pulsarlo convencional coma fuente de luz son presentados en este trabajo.

Spectral analysis and new visible and ultraviolet lines of Ar V

A capillary discharge tube was used to record the Ar spectrum in the region of 330-4400 angstrom. We analyzed a set of 109 lines of Ar V, with 10 of them being classified for the first time. Part of these newly identified lines (six in total) corresponds to electric dipole transitions in the visible and ultraviolet regions of the spectrum. We calculated weighted transition rates (gA) for all experimentally observed lines and the corresponding lifetimes using a relativistic Hartree-Fock method with configuration interaction. The equations were modified to consider core polarization (CP) effects. A study on the Si isoelectronic sequence found that considering CP effects is essential for the correct description of the Ar V structure2422COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPESConsejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientificas y Tecnicas (CONICET), ArgentinaConsejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientificas y Tecnicas (CONICET); Coordenaccao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES), Brazil; Comision de Investigaciones Cientificas de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (CIC

New spectroscopic data for atomic tungsten XIV

The thirteen times ionized tungsten is isoelectronic with PmI. Wavelengths and transition probabilities for the 5s-5p and 5p-5d transitions of WXIV, identifying the ground state as 4f13 5s2 2F7/2 were calculated. Both, a relativistic Hartree Fock approach, including core-polarization effects, and a purely relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method were used for the calculations. Particularly, 5s-5p transitions were compared with experimental results obtained with VUV electron beam ion trap (EBIT) spectroscopy583CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQCOORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPESnão temnão tem17th International conference on the physics of highly charged ionsThis research was supported by the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET), Argentina, by the Coordenaçăo de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) and by the Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa (CNPq), Brazil.

Revised and extended analysis of five times ionized xenon, Xe Vi

A capillary discharge tube was used to record the Xe spectrum in the 400-5500 Å region. A set of 243 lines of the Xe VI spectrum was observed, and 146 of them were classified for the first time. For all known lines, we calculated the weighted oscillator strengths (gf) and weighted transition probabilities (gA) using the configuration interaction in a relativistic Hartree-Fock approach. The energy matrix was calculated using energy parameters adjusted to fit the experimental energy levels. Core polarization effects were taken into account in our calculations. Experimental energy values and calculated lifetimes are also presented for a set of 88 levels. From these levels, 32 were classified for the first time and 33 had their values revised. Our analysis of the 5s5p5d and 5s5p6s configurations was extended in order to clarify discrepancies among previous works216

Revised and Extended Analysis of Five Times Ionized Argon (Ar VI)

The spectrum of five times ionized argon, (Ar VI), has been observed in the 280-2100 Å wavelength range. Eighty-seven lines have been identified as transitions between levels of the 3s23p, 3s3p2, 3s23d, 3p3, 3s3p3d, 3s24s, 3s24d and 3s3p4s configurations. For 33 of the lines the classification is new. Forty-one energy level values belonging to these configurations were analyzed and we propose 9 new energy level values for levels corresponding to odd parity configurations. The configurations are interpreted by fitting the theoretical energy expressions to the observed energy levels using least- squares techniques. The parameter values are compared with results from Hartree-Fock calculations.Facultad de Ciencias Exacta

Lifetime calculations in energy levels of Kr VII

Calculations of the lifetimes for all experimentally known energy levels of the spectrum of the six times-ionized krypton (Kr VII) are presented. The relativistic Hartree–Fock method including corepolarization effects were used. The energy matrix was calculated using energy parameters adjusted to the experimental energy levels.Wealso present a calculation based on a relativistic multiconfigurational Dirac–Fock approach. For some energy levels, a comparison of these results with the bibliography data was made

Mediciones de dióxido de azufre en aire mediante métodos activos y pasivos

El trabajo tiene como objetivos el estudio, desarrollo y aplicación de técnicas para la medición de contaminantes atmosféricos derivados del azufre en zonas de La Plata y alrededores del Polo Petroquímico mediante métodos activos y pasivos. En la obtención de datos sobre concentranciones de dióxido de azufre se utiliza un método activo, el analizador de SO₂ por fluorescencia en el UV. Los datos logrados se comparan con los que se obtienen utilizando técnicas pasivas de medición química y biológicas, tales como la tasa de sulfatación, que se constituye en uno de los indicadores válidos para estimar el estado general del aire en una zona determinada y la comparación de la flora liquénica de las areas en estudio con la de otras no contaminadas. Todas las determinaciones se correlacionan con los factores climáticos y además, para que resulten comparativas en sí mismas, se efectúan en diversas zonas consideradas de "mayor riesgo", que se contrastan con otras. consideradas de "bajo riesgo".Asociación Argentina de Energías Renovables y Medio Ambiente (ASADES
