Theoretical study on Mα transition parameters of He-like to C-like cobalt ions

The multi-configuration Dirac-Hartree-Fock method is employed to investigate the M alpha transitions of He-like to C-like Co ions. This study encompasses various parameters, such as energy levels, wavelengths, transition rates, oscillator strengths, and line strengths. The Breit interaction, vacuum polarization, and self-energy corrections were included in the computation of energy levels. The computed results we obtained align well with both experimental and theoretical findings. The differences for most energy levels, transition wavelengths, and oscillator strengths are all below 0.6%, 0.8%, and 20%, respectively. The uncertainty estimation method of the transitions of line strength is evaluated using quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods. The resulting accurate and consistent MCDHF data are expected to be useful for theoretical research on cobalt ions.
