The configuration interaction in the odd states of the copper atom and its effects on energy levels and transition probabilities have been studied with the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method. Relativistic effects have been included to first order. Good agreement is found between the results of the present work and available experimental data. The origins of observed irregularities in the energy-level structure and lifetime trends are explained. Properties of importance for the possible generation of additional lines in the copper-vapor laser are discussed.
