A Community Platform for Just Atomic Calculations (JAC)

Electronic structure calculations of atoms and ions have a long tradition in physics with applications in basic research and spectroscopy. With the Jena Atomic Calculator (JAC), I here present a new implementation of a (relativistic) electronic structure code for the computation of atomic amplitudes, properties as well as a large number of excitation and decay processes for open-shell atoms and ions across the periodic table. JAC [1] is based on Julia, a new programming language for scientific computing, and provides an easy-to-use but powerful platform to extent atomic theory towards new applications.
