Abstract

An extension of the GRASP2 multi-configuration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) program for calculation of the specific mass shift (SMS) is described. The various modes (average level, optimal level, etc.) for achieving an approximate wavefunction, and their impact on the relativistic SMS values, are explored. Comparisons are made with other theoretical SMS values as well as with experiment for Ar+, Ni, Kr+, and Ce+ with new results reported for each atom.
