title: Radiative lifetimes for the B1piu state of the Na2 molecule.
abstract: A study of the radiative lifetimes calculation of the Na2 B1piu state is presented. RKR electronic potentials are considered. The studied vibrational levels are for v' = 0-33 (B1piu) and v" = 0-65 (chi1sigmag+). The rotation is considered for values of J' = 1-225 (B1piu). The Einstein emission coefficients are calculated for the specified B1piu rovibrational levels (for Q line and R, P lines, for all ground state vibrational levels). With the inverse of Einstein emission coefficients sum, the radiative lifetimes are calculated. These calculated lifetimes are in good agreement with the experimental and previously calculated (with RKR potentials) lifetimes, but now great extension of considered rovibrational levels is considered. The bound-free contribution is irrelevant for Na2 lifetimes of the B1piu state. The perturbation between Na2 B1piu and alpha1sigmau+ states is considered.
