1s2s2p/sup 2/ /sup 5/P--1s2p/sup 3/ /sup 5/S transition in B II

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
An experimental and theoretical study has been made of the 1s2s2p/sup 2/ /sup 5/P--1s2p/sup 3/ /sup 5/S transition in B II. The experimental wavelength and lifetime (1323.92 +- 0.07 A and 0.65 +- 0.01 ns), determined by beam-foil spectroscopy, are more than five times more accurate than previous experimental results. Our theoretical data, from multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock calculations, 1311.6 A and 0.601 ns, are in excellent agreement with previous theoretical predictions of Beck and Nicolaides (Phys. Lett. 61A, 227 (1977)). We have also observed the 1s2p/sup 3/ /sup 5/S--1s2p/sup 2/3s /sup 5/P transition, at 857.7 +- 0.2 A, in accord with the theoretical value 859.1 A.
