Summary
The experimental measurement and theoretical formulation of atomic lifetimes are being extended to systems that have both many electrons stripped away and multiple electrons remaining. The dynamical structure of these systems can be significantly affected by interactions that are negligible in neutral and fewtimes ionized systems, and the lifetimes can sensitively probe interelectronic correlations, relativistic and quantum electrodynamic interactions, and effects of the finite size of the nucleus. These interactions often have characteristic dependences on the central charge, and studies of systematic trends can reveal both predictive regularities and theoretical insights. Besides providing new tests of atomic theory, these systems have important applications in astrophysics, in fusion plasma technology, and in XUV-laser development.
