Description

We have calculated atomic helium spontaneous decay rates and absorption oscillator strengths for the spin-forbidden transitions from 3 3P1,2 and 3 1P1 to all lower 1S0 and 3S1 states. In particular we found A10=44.33(4) s-1 for the E1 transition 3 3P1-1 1S0 and 0.1147(1) s-1 for the M2 transition 3 3P2-1 1S0.
