Abstract.
The analysis of the magnesium-like Ar VII spectrum was extended to include the 3s5s, 3s6d, 3p4p, 3s5p and 3p5s configurations, in the vacuum ultraviolet region. Sixty-six new transitions have been identified as transitions between the levels of the configurations stated above. Fifteen new levels were determined that belong to these configurations. Hartree-Fock calculations with relativistic corrections were used to predict energy levels, transitions and to support the experimental results.
