Abstract
Planned optical spectroscopy experiments in lawrencium (Lr, Z = 103) require accurate theoretical predictions of the location of spectral lines in order to narrow the experimental search window. We present ab initio calculations of the atomic energy levels, transition amplitudes and g-factors for lawrencium, as well as its lighter homologue lutetium (Lu, Z = 71). We use the configuration interaction with many-body perturbation-theory (CI+MBPT) method to calculate energy levels and transition properties, and benchmark the accuracy of our predicted energies using relativistic coupled-cluster codes. Our results are numerically converged and in close agreement with experimentally measured energy levels for Lu, and we expect a similar accuracy for Lr. These systematic calculations have identified multiple transitions of experimental utility and will serve to guide future experimental studies of Lr.
