Abstract

The atomic transition probabilities for multiplet and individual lines and oscillator strengths for multiplet lines between some triplet and quintet levels have been calculated using weakest bound electron potential model theory (WBEPMT) in neutral oxygen. The results obtained in this work are in good agreement with the data obtained from different theoretical methods given in the literature and with critically evaluated values taken from NIST. Moreover, some new transition probabilities and oscillator strengths for highly excited levels in atomic oxygen have been obtained using this method.
