Measurement of a magnetic-dipole transition probability in Xe 321 using an electron-beam ion trap
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transition probability for the 3d D2←D3 magnetic-dipole transition in Ti-like Xe ~Xe) has been measured using an electron-beam ion trap. The unusually weak dependence of the transition energy on nuclear charge Z , and the fact that the transition wavelength remains in the 320to 400-nm range for 54,Z,92, makes this transition promising as a plasma diagnostic tool. Our measurement of the transition probability yields 465~30! s, corresponding to a lifetime of 2.15~14! ms, in good agreement with the theoretical value of 2.4 ms. @S1050-2947~97!07506-9#

Precision measurement of the lifetime of the 1s2s
The lifetime of the 1s2s S1 level of the He-like O 61 ion has been measured using the Electron Beam Ion Trap in the magnetic trapping mode. A value of 95624 15 ms is found, which corresponds to a radiative transition rate of 104625 14 s for the magnetic dipole transition to the 1s S0 ground state. This value is in excellent agreement with recent theoretical predictions and distinguishes among d...
متن کاملDirect Observation of the Spontaneous Emission of the Hyperfine Transition F=4 to F=3 in Ground State Hydrogenlike 165Ho66+ in an Electron Beam Ion Trap.
We report the first direct laboratory measurement of the spontaneous emission due to the hyperfine splitting of the ground state of a highly charged hydrogenlike ion excited by electron collisions. The transition between the F 4 and F 3 levels of the 1s S1y2 configuration of hydrogenlike 165Ho651 was observed and its wavelength was determined to 5726.4 6 1.5 Å. After taking into account rel...
متن کاملElectron capture from H2 to highly charged Th and Xe ions trapped at center-of-mass energies near 6 eV
Ions with charge states as high as 801 , produced in the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory electron beam ion trap were extracted and transferred to a Penning ion trap ~RETRAP!. RETRAP was operated at cryogenic temperature in the field of a superconducting magnet. The stored low-energy ions collided occasionally with H2 molecules in the ultrahigh-vacuum environment of the trap, capturing on...
متن کاملEffects of electron spiralling on the anisotropy and polarization of photon emission from an electron beam ion trap
We present a theoretical formalism for calculating the anisotropy and polarization of photon emission due to a spiralling beam of electrons colliding with an ensemble of atoms or ions. For an axisymmetric beam with a given velocity angular distribution, the polarization and angular distribution of the resulting radiation can be characterized by the expansion coefficients of the distribution fun...
متن کاملMagnetic dipole transition rates from measured lifetimes of levels of Be-like and B-like argon ions
The lifetimes of the 1s2s2p P2 level of Ar XV and 1s 2s2p P3/2 of Ar XIV have been measured using metastable Ar and Ar ions produced by an electron cyclotron resonance ion source, which were subsequently separately captured into a Kingdon ion trap. The lifetime results are t~Ar XV, 2s2p P2) 513.4(7) ms and t~Ar XIV,2p P3/2)59.12(18) ms. Transition rates derived from the measured lifetimes diffe...
