Cover Story: Open f-shell elements still constitute a great challenge for atomic theory owing to their (very) rich fine structure and the strong correlations between valence shell electrons. Different concepts and techniques must be combined to consistently describe the electronic structure and properties of these elements. With JAC, the Jena Atomic Calculator, we provide and explain, here, a toolbox that helps to compute open d- and f-shell elements and whose features are depicted in the jigsaw puzzle on the cover page. In addition, the JAC toolbox also facilitates the computation of atomic processes, cascades or even the symbolic simplification of expressions from Racah’s algebra. View this paper
