✦ Synopsis

Wavelengths, oscillator strengths, and lifetimes of KL shell heavy ions such as FeZW, Br30c, etc. arc predicted, including both relativistic and corrclstion effects. In such ions the distinc:ion between "normal" electric dipoIe (El) and spin-orbit allowed electric dipole transitions (SOAEI) disappears and the Zdependence of oscillator strengths is very different from the predictions of non-relativistic orbital theories. The feasibtii?y of obreming these ions in heavy ion acceleratofi is indicated. The results have implications for relativistic many-electron theory, ESCA, X-ray spectra, and molecular total energies.
