Multiple photoionization cross sections from the K shell are studied for all levels of the Fe2+ 3d6 configuration. The study shows that the quadruple photoionization leads to the largest cross sections. A large variation in the multiple photoionization cross sections is determined among the levels of the Fe2+ 3d6 configuration. Main decay branches of radiative and Auger cascades, following the photoionization of the K shell for the ground configuration of the Fe2+ ion, are identified. The radiative and Auger cascade is studied by considering transitions among energy levels and subconfigurations. The obtained data for ion yields are compared with previous calculations produced for configuration averages.

It has long been suggested that in skeletal muscle, the ATP-sensitive K+ channel (KATP) channel is important in protecting energy levels and that abolishing its activity causes fiber damage and severely impairs function. The responses to a lack of KATP channel activity vary between muscles and fibers, with the severity of the impairment being the highest in the most glycolytic muscle fibers. Furthermore, glycolytic muscle fibers are also expected to face metabolic stress more often than oxidative ones. The objective of this study was to determine whether the t-tubular KATP channel content differs between muscles and fiber types. KATP channel content was estimated using a semiquantitative immunofluorescence approach by staining cross sections from soleus, extensor digitorum longus (EDL), and flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) muscles with anti-Kir6.2 antibody. Fiber types were determined using serial cross sections stained with specific antimyosin I, IIA, IIB, and IIX antibodies. Changes in Kir6.2 content were compared with changes in CaV1.1 content, as this Ca2+ channel is responsible for triggering Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum. The Kir6.2 content was the lowest in the oxidative soleus and the highest in the glycolytic EDL and FDB. At the individual fiber level, the Kir6.2 content within a muscle was in the order of type IIB > IIX > IIA ≥ I. Interestingly, the Kir6.2 content for a given fiber type was significantly different between soleus, EDL, and FDB, and highest in FDB. Correlations of relative fluorescence intensities from the Kir6.2 and CaV1.1 antibodies were significant for all three muscles. However, the variability in content between the three muscles or individual fibers was much greater for Kir6.2 than for CaV1.1. It is suggested that the t-tubular KATP channel content increases as the glycolytic capacity increases and as the oxidative capacity decreases and that the expression of KATP channels may be linked to how often muscles/fibers face metabolic stress.

A new interaction mechanism of superluminal particles with matter is suggested. Tachyons are described by a real Proca field with negative mass square, coupled to a current of subluminal matter. The potential of a static point source in this field theory is a damped periodic function with 1/r-decay. We treat this potential as a perturbation of the Coulomb potential, and study its effects on cross-sections and energy levels. In the limit of large impact parameter, the periodicity of the potential has a pronounced effect on the classical cross-section, which gets singular at the accumulating extrema of the scattering angle. In this limit we define the cross-section wave mechanically, by semiclassical rainbow scattering. The impact of the tachyon potential on the energy levels of hydrogen and hydrogenic ions is calculated by means of Bohr–Sommerfeld quantization. Estimates for the tachyon mass (3 keV) and the coupling constant of the tachyon potential are derived on the basis of high-precision Lamb shift measurements.

The relativistic R-matrix method is used to calculate the total photoionization cross sections from the ground state 1s22s2 1S0 of Al X for photon energies ranges from the first ionization threshold to just above the eighth threshold of the residual ion Al XI. In this work, the relativistic distorted-wave method is employed to calculate the fine-structure energy levels and radial functions. The lowest eight level target states of Al XI are used in the photoionization calculations of Al X and should provide a reasonably complete database for practical application for photoionization cross section for Al X. The resonance energy levels and widths of 18 Rydberg series have been investigated.

We carried out accurate quantum wave packet as well as quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) calculations for H + CaCl (νi = 0, ji = 0) reaction occurring on an adiabatic ground state. Recent ab initio potential energy surface is employed to calculate the quantum and QCT reaction probabilities for several partial waves (J = 0, 10, and 20) as well as state resolved QCT integral and differential cross sections.

The spectra of absorption, luminescence, and lifetime of Yb3+ in SO2Cl2 – GaCl3 – Yb3+ solutions were measured. Information is obtained on the Stark splitting of energy levels, absorption and stimulated emission cross sections of Yb3+. An analysis of the spectral dependence of the gain cross sections indicates that the SOCl2 – GaCl3 – Yb3 solution is promising as the active medium of a diode-pumped liquid ytterbium laser.

Photoionization (PI) of Ti<sup>9+</sup> ion is investigated by the Dirac R-matrix method. Multi-Configuration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) calculations are performed to construct accurate target functions. Good agreement of energy levels and radiative transition rates indicate the accuracy of target functions. PI cross sections show good consistency between length and velocity forms. The results are consistent with the previous theoretical values in high-energy regions. Partial waves contribution to the total PI cross sections are discussed for the ground and metastable states. Moreover, the PI cross sections are dominated by many resonance structures and affected by the channel coupling effects in low-energy region. In addition to providing data for the Opacity Project TOPbase, the present work promotes plasma simulation and diagnosis.

The spectra currently emerging from modern ground- and space-based astronomical instruments are of exceptionally high quality and resolution. To meaningfully analyse these spectra, researchers utilise complex modelling codes to replicate the observations. The main inputs to these codes are atomic data such as excitation and photoionisation cross sections, as well as radiative transition probabilities, energy levels, and line strengths. In this publication, the current capabilities of the numerical methods and computer packages used in the generation of these data are discussed. Particular emphasis is given to Fe-peak species and the heavy systems of tungsten and molybdenum. Some of the results presented to highlight certain issues and/or advances have already been published in the literature, while other sections present new recently evaluated atomic data for the first time.
