Radiative Lifetime Determination For the 3s4p (1)p(1) State of Magnesium Using Pulsed Level-crossing Spectroscopy
Author
Summary, in English
The natural radiative lifetime of the 3s 4p 1P1 level of neutral magnesium was measured by pulsed level-crossing spectroscopy at the short excitation wavelength of 202.6 nm. We obtained tau = 13.4(5) ns for this state, strongly deviating from a previous beam-foil result, but in good agreement with a multi-configuration Hartree-Fock calculation. A discussion of the applicability of the pulsed Hanle effect method is given.
