We have observed in high-Z ions, electric dipole allowed, two-electron--jump, core-changing transitions in fluorinelike and oxygenlike lanthanum. X-ray transitions between the upper 2s/sup 2/2p/sup n/3p excited levels and the lower 2s2p/sup n//sup +2/ hole states of oxygenlike and fluorinelike lanthanum are reported. These transitions are particularly interesting as a test of the theoretical atomic physics calculations as well as a possible plasma density diagnostic.
