Relativistic Radiative and Auger Rates for Fe XXIV

As part of a project to compute improved atomic data for the spectral modeling of iron K lines, we report extensive calculations and comparisons of radiative and Auger rates for transitions involving the K-vacancy states in Fe XXIV. By making use of several computational codes, a detailed study is carried out of orbital representation, configuration interaction, relativistic corrections, cancellation effects, and fine tuning. It is shown that a formal treatment of the Breit interaction is essential to render the important magnetic correlations that take part in the decay pathways of this ion. As a result, the accuracy of the present A-values is firmly ranked at better than 10% while that of the Auger rates at only 15%.
