Abstract

Codes for the relativistic calculation of atomic structures and properties have continued to develop in response to the demands of physicists for models with greater physical realism. The MCDF/BENA packages and the modules associated with them (Grant et al. 1980, McKenzie et al. 1980) have been very widely used, and have proved particularly effective in making predictions of energy levels and wave—functions for highly ionized atoms. These wave—functions are the starting point for calculations of many other properties, for example line strengths or collision cross—sections.
