Description Christian Herzberg 2014-05-15 01:24:11 UTC

I'm looking at the data from H and found the lines from alpha (656nm) and the beta (486nm) but than there are a lot of lines missing:
(table from: http://www.chemgapedia.de/vsengine/vlu/vsc/de/ch/13/vlu/analytik/aas/atombau.vlu/Page/vsc/de/ch/13/pc/analytik/aas/aas4_am11.vscml.html)
 m 	Bezeichnung 	Wellenlänge in nm
3 	H α 	656,47
4 	H β 	486,27
5 	H γ 	434,17
6 	H δ 	410,29
7 	H ε 	397,12
8 	H ζ 	389,02
9 	H η 	383,65
10 	H θ 	379,90
11 	H ι 	377,17
12 	H κ 	375,13

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open kalzium
2. click on H
3. choose "spectrum" and compare table to the one I copied under "details" of this report
Actual Results:  
The Lines between 121nm and 486nm are missing.

Expected Results:  
The Lines should be there.

Because of the reliability loss from this bug to kalzium I put severity to "Major".

I was also wondering if all the lines should be included and which sources can be used.
E.g. this[1] is one of the sources used by WolframAlpha, and for some atoms (I've only checked Alkali atoms which is what I am working with) it provides two order of magnitude more lines and also a lot more informations about each lines.

Hello 

Currently Kalzium uses the blue obelisk repository. 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/blueobelisk/index.php?title=DataRepository

I have just seen they made an update of the repository:-) So I goint go merge upstream into Kalzium (elements.xml and isotopes.xml).

Unfortunately I didn't find the new spectrum.xml file. Altoght I don't think your requested lines will be already in the blue obelisk repository. It would be nice to have them upstream. Maybe somone could try to get it there?

Regards
Etienne
