choose pseudopotential

Hi all:
If I want to calculate the response function for 4d orbital of Xe element is it necessary to use a pseudopotential
which uses 4d as valence electron? Currently I can only find pseudopotential of Xe with 5s and 5p as the valence electron. Can I calculate the 4d excitation by using this pseudopotential?

Thanks
