The MCDHF/MCHF Collection contains extensive transition data
currently for seven isoelectronic sequences (LI, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne).
The method of simultaneous optimization considerably enhanced the means of
computing a common radial basis when many terms exhibit
relativistic mixing effects. The method allows for a simultaneous
optimization of the weighted energy functional of a set of selected
terms and eigenvalues. Applying the Breit-Pauli corrections
included the relativistic effects. The accuracies of the
transition energy, rates and lifetimes were compared with some
high precision experiments and benchmark studies. The transition
energies compared to the observed were accurate within a
fraction of percent, and the accuracy of the transition rates was
very often less than 1data were evaluated based on discrepancies between observed and
theoretical energy, and the velocity and length forms of line strength.
