Measurements of the 1s2s /sup 3/S/sub 1/--1s2p /sup 3/P/sub 0,2/ wavelengths in heliumlike neon

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
We have used the beam-foil technique to measure the wavelengths of the 1s2s /sup 3/S/sub 1/--1s2p /sup 3/P/sub 0,2/ transitions in heliumlike Ne IX. The measured wavelengths are 1248.11 +- 0.03 A and 1277.75 +- 0.05 A for the J = 2 and J = 0 transitions, respectively. We compare our results with theory and with other measurements made with different techniques. The agreement is satisfactory and verifies the calculations of the relativistic and QED corrections in this two-electron system.
