He+ Lamb-shift measurement by the quenching-radiation anisotropy method
- 1. Department of Physics, University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario N9B 3P4, Canada
Description
The Lamb shift of He+ is derived from the measured anisotropy in the electric-field-induced quenching radiation of the metastable 2s/sub 1/2/ state. The results demonstrate that the anisotropy method can be applied with high precision to one-electron ion beams, as well as neutral beams. We find a Lamb shift of 14040.2 +- 2.9 MHz (1 standard deviation). The sources of error and difficulties encountered in working with ion beams are discussed in detail
