Abstract

The population of the4 P 5/2-state in Ar15+-ions by cascading processes was measured. The corrected lifetime is (0.55±0.04) ns and is in very good agreement with the theoretical value of 0.56 ns. At a specific beam energy of 1.4 MeV/u the lifetime of the3 P 2-state of Ar16+ is not influenced by cascading processes and is (1.44±0.08) ns. The energies of the3 P 2 →1 S 0- and4 P 5/2 →2 S 1/2-transitions are (3127.2±0.5) and (3090.0±0.7) eV, respectively.
