Abstract
We tabulate spontaneous emission rates for all possible 811 electric-dipole-allowed transitions between the 75 lowest-energy states of Ca I. These involve the 4sns (n=4–8), 4snp (n=4–7), 4snd (n=3–6), 4snf (n=4–6), 3d2, 4p2, 3d4p, and 4s5g electronic configurations. We compile the transition rates by carrying out ab initio relativistic calculations using the combined method of configuration interaction and many-body perturbation theory. The results are compared to the available literature values. The tabulated rates can be useful in various applications, such as optimizing laser cooling in magneto-optical traps, estimating various systematic effects in optical clocks and evaluating static or dynamic polarizabilities and long-range atom–atom interaction coefficients and related atomic properties.
