In this work we make an experimental and theoretical investigation of
transition probabilities (A) and lifetimes 
of Xe II. Eighteen
Aij's corresponding to the 6p-6d array were measured using a Laser
Produced Plasma (LPP) as the spectroscopic source. The ab initio
(AI) and Least Square Fitting (LSF) approaches were used to calculate the
atomic parameters. Relativistic corrections and Configuration Interaction
(CI) effects have been taken into account using the HFR approach described
by Cowan. Whereas the AI parameters corresponding to 6p levels are not
very affected by CI effects, several of the 6d levels with J=1/2, 3/2
and 5/2 making transitions to the fundamental levels 
are affected by CI effects due to both, discrete nd and
continuum 
states, modifying their lifetimes values. An
extensive comparison with other measurements and calculations are made. In
particular, concerned with branching ratio and forbidden transitions.
