Measurement of metastable lifetimes for transitions in Fe{sup 9+},Fe{sup 10+}, and Fe{sup 13+}
- Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91109 (United States)
Radiative lifetimes are measured for metastable levels in the iron charge states Fe{sup 9+},Fe{sup 10+}, and Fe{sup 13+}. The ions are generated in a 14 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source and trapped in a Kingdon ion trap. The Fe levels and their measured lifetimes are (a) 73.0{+-}0.8 ms for the 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 4}({sup 3}P)3d {sup 4}F{sub 7/2} level in Fe{sup 9+} (b) 9.91{+-}0.5 ms for the 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 4} {sup 1}D{sub 2} level in Fe{sup 10+}, and (c) 17.0{+-}0.2 ms for the 3s{sup 2}3p {sup 2}P{sup o}{sub 3/2} level in Fe{sup 13+}. Comparisons are made to other measured results using a Kingdon trap, an ion storage, and an electron-beam ion trap (EBIT)
