Title: Random-matrix method for the simulation of large atomic E1 transition arrays

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

A computationally fast approximate method for the calculation of large atomic-dipole transition arrays is proposed using an adaptation of Wigner's random-matrix theory. Unlike the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble, off-diagonal matrix elements are populated statistically according to a bi-Gaussian distribution function where elements are correlated according to the term value of the parent shell.
