Description

We present the first observation of the 1s2p3P2 → 1s2s3S1 transition in Li-like uranium. The experiment was performed at the internal gas -jet target of the ESR storage ring at GSI exploiting a Bragg crystal spectrometer and a germanium solid-state detector. Using the 1s22p2P3/2 → 1s22s2S1/2 transition in Li-like uranium as reference and the deceleration capabilities of the ESR storage ring, we obtained the first evaluation of the energy of an intra-shell transition for a He-like heavy ion.
