Unlocking the adf48 file naming convention


A typical adf48 file name is:

nrb05#li_fe23ic.dat

which can be broken down as follows:

nrb:

these are the initials of the person who carried-out the calculation.

05:

is the two digit year code for the data class (here 2005) NOT the date of calculation.

li:

denotes the isoelectronic sequence of the electron target (Li-like).

fe23:

denotes the element and charge state (of the electron target, again).

ic:

denotes the coupling scheme, intermediate or LS.

The file will normally contain data for capture to all n up to 1000 for the initial ground complex;
e.g. 1s22s + e- -> 1s22snl + γ .
