Dear Fatemeh

The integral <Y_{l,m} | C_{k,q} | Y_{lp,mp}> = (-1)^{-m} [l,lp]^{1/2}
3J(l,k,lp,0,0,0) 3J(l,k,lp,-m,q,mp)

Where 3J are the 3J symbols (
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Wigner3j-Symbol.html )
and C_{l,m}=(4 \pi)/[l])^{1/2} Y_{l,m}
and [l]=2l+1
        [l,lp]=(2l+1)(2lp+1)

i.e. these integrals are closed analytical expressions See Cowan (the
theory of atomic structure and spectra) for example or Google a bit on
3J symbols.

PS both Mathematica and Mapel can do these things analytically

PS2 see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-jm_symbol
