Fast configuration-interaction calculations for nobelium and ytterbium

Abstract

We calculate excitation energies for low states of nobelium, including states with open $5f$ subshell. An efficient version of the many-electron configuration-interaction method for treating the atom as a sixteen external electrons system has been developed and used. The method is tested on calculations for ytterbium which has external electron structure similar to nobelium. The results for nobelium are important for prediction of its spectrum and for interpretation of recent measurements. Ytterbium is mostly used to study the features of the method.
