Description
Summary:Radiative lifetimes of three elements of the nitrogen group have been experimentally investigated at the Double ElectroStatic Ion Ring Experiment (DESIREE) facility at Stockholm University. The experiments were performed through selective laser photodetachment of excited states of P$^-$, As$^-$ and Sb$^-$ ions stored in a cryogenic storage ring. The experimental results were compared with theoretically predicted lifetimes, yielding a mixture of very good agreements in some cases and large discrepancies in others. These results are part of our efforts to map out the lifetimes of all excited states in negative ions. This data can be used to benchmark atomic theories, in particularly with respect to the degree of electron correlation that is incorporated in various theoretical models.
