Measured level lifetimes for the coronal transitions of Fe X and Fe XIV.
In a laboratory study, the lifetimes of the {sup 2}P levels producting the coronal transitions of Fe X and Fe XIV have been measured. The fluorescence from the metastable levels, which were populated when the ions wre produced in a source of multiply charged ions, was studied from the selected ions were injected into an electrostatic ion trap. The results are {tau}(FeX, 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 5} {sup 2}P{sup 0}{sub 1/2})=13.64{+-}0.25 ms and {tau}(Fe XIV, 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 2}P{sup 0}{sub 1/2})=17.52{+-}0.29 ms. The data significantly reduce the uncertainty of the lifetimes when compared with existing theory.
