Abstract

Relativistic coupled-cluster(RCC) theory has been employed to calculate the life time of the 6 2P3/2 state of single ionized lead(207Pb) to an accurac y of 3% and compared with the corresponding value obtained using second order r elativistic many-body perturbation theory(RMBPT). This is one of the very few ap plications of this theory to excited state properties of heavy atomic systems. C ontributions from the different electron correlation effects are given explicitl y.
