Abstract
We provide, for the first time to our knowledge, accurate theoretical data for the the transition energy and probability values related to the decay of the most important excited states in He- through C-like lanthanum and cerium ions leading to the emission of K X-ray lines. We employed the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method, including QED corrections, to obtain the wave functions and energy values of each level involved in the X-ray analyzed transitions. The presented data may be used, among others, in the diagnostic of laboratory plasmas, such as the ones obtained in EBIT and ECRIS sources.
