Description

The transition probability of the magnetic dipole (M1) transition 2s22p 2Po J=1/2 to J'=3/2 (λ=574.19 nm) in the B-like ion Cl12+ has been measured using two different light sources, the Heidelberg heavy-ion storage ring TSR and the Livermore electron-beam ion trap EBIT-I. Our results for the atomic level lifetime are 21.2±0.6 ms from the heavy-ion storage ring and 21.0±0.5 ms from the Livermore electron-beam ion trap. Particular attention has been paid to systematic errors, making this experiment a common reference for atomic level lifetime measurements in the visible spectrum
