Relativistic energy, fine structure, and hyperfine-structure studies of the high-lying core-excited states P(n) (n = 1-3) and S(m) (m = 1-3) for the Be-like isoelectronic sequence

The variational method using a multiconfiguration interaction wavefunction is carried out on the high-lying core-excited states ⁵P(n) (n = 1-3) and ⁵S^o(m) (m = 1-3) for the Be-like isoelectronic sequence from Z = 7 to 10, including mass polarization and relativistic corrections. Relativistic energies, oscillator strengths, wavelengths, and lifetimes are reported. The results are compared with other theoretical and experimental data in the literature. The fine structure and hyperfine structure of core-excited states for this system are also investigated.
