Phys. Rev. A 67, 024701 (2003) [3 pages]Generalized oscillator strengths for open-shell and closed-shell atomsReceived 19 April 2002; published 6 February 2003 A formula, which is a useful improvement over existing ones, has been obtained to calculate the generalized oscillator strengths (GOS’s) for the discrete transitions of both open-shell and closed-shell atoms. We illustrate our formula by calculating the GOS for the oxygen 2p4(3P)-2p3(4S)3s(3S) transition and obtain overall good agreement with the experimental data. Our calculated GOS reveals a minimum at around the momentum transfer, K=1.26a.u. We recommend a careful experimental search for the position of the minimum around the predicted value for confirmation. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
