Lifetime measurements of metastable states in Fe

The lifetime of two metastable levels in Fe+ has been measured by laser probing of a stored ion beam. In the dense spectrum of Fe+, the metastable levels a (6)S(5/2) and b (4)D(7/2) were selected and their lifetimes were determined to be 230 +/- 30 and 530 +/- 30 ms, respectively. The lifetimes are...
