Abstract Previously reported works on the spectrum of Cs VII are critically studied using supplementary spectrograms recorded on a 3-m normal incidence vacuum spectrograph in the wavelength region 300–1240 A at the Antigonish laboratory (Canada). We confirmed the results of the earlier work of Gayasov and Joshi on this spectrum. Our analysis is supported by extended calculations with the pseudo-relativistic Hartree-Fock (HFR) method with superposition of configuration interactions implemented in Cowan's suite of codes. In this critical evaluation, in addition to the accurate energy levels of Cs VII with their uncertainties, observed and Ritz wavelengths with uncertainties and transition probabilities, the uniformly-scaled intensities of Cs VII lines are also presented. A total of 196 lines attributed to 197 transitions enabled us to optimize the energy values of 72 levels in Cs VII spectrum. Furthermore, Ritz wavelengths of 141 possibly observable lines are provided along with their transition probabilities.
