N2 - We provide, for the first time to our knowledge, accurate theoretical data for the the transition energy and probability values related to the decay of the most important excited states in He- through C-like lanthanum and cerium ions leading to the emission of K X-ray lines. We employed the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method, including QED corrections, to obtain the wave functions and energy values of each level involved in the X-ray analyzed transitions. The presented data may be used, among others, in the diagnostic of laboratory plasmas, such as the ones obtained in EBIT and ECRIS sources.
