We have measured the lifetime of the 2 {sup 3}S{sub 1} level in helium-like bromine with the results {tau}{sup exp}(2 {sup 3}S{sub 1}) = 224.1 (7.1) ps, in agreement with theory. Our error is dominated by uncertainties in the correction for the effects of cascades from highly excited states. 7 refs., 1 fig.
