Description

Synchrotron radiation affords the possibility of lifetime measurements of excited ionic states following their selective excitation. This method has been used to determine the lifetime of the Xe II 5s5p62Ssub(1/2) state as 34.4(6) ns. Multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock calculations yield a value of 9.5 ns, indicating the importance of relativistic effects in such a system. (author)
