We have used the beam-foil technique in the wavelength region between 3500 and 4500 Å to measure the lifetimes of 10 terms in F II having the configuration 2p3nl, and also to demonstrate the usefulness of the ANDC method for overcoming the effects of cascade repopulation in these measurements. Our results are in good agreement with theory and with other experimental values.

A brief description is given of the modifications to a 2-MV Van de Graaff accelerator that are required to incorporate a field-emission ion source. The source is used to obtain a 1-μA beam of Ga+ ions. Lifetime measurements using the beam-foil technique are reported for the 4s5s1S, 4s4p1P, 4s4d1D, 4s5d1D, 4p21D, 4s5s3S, 4p23p, and 4s4d3D terms of Ga II and for the 5s2S, 4p2P, 4d2D, and 5f2F terms of Ga III. A detailed discussion is given of the cascading problem in the case of the Ga II resonance transition at 1414 Å.

The beam-foil technique was used to measure the lifetimes of the 5d105f, 5g, 6d, 6h, 7p, 7d, 8s and 5d96s6p [2]0, [3]0, [6]0, [14]0, [17]0 levels of Pb IV. Correlated decay-curve analyses were used to correct for the effects of cascading in the case of the 5d105f, 5g, 6d, and 7p levels. The numerical Coulomb approximation was used to calculate comparison values for the 5d10nl levels. The need for a more rigorous calculation for specific levels is discussed.

Forty-eight new uv lines have been observed and identified in the singly and doubly excited systems of C IV, and in C V. The beam-foil technique was used to excite the spectra and to measure radiative lifetimes for 16 levels. Good agreement is found with available theoretical predictions.

The techniques of beam-foil spectroscopy are applied to obtain measurements of the lifetimes of the 6s6p1P1, 3P1, 6s6d1D2, 3D1, 3D2, and 3D3 levels of Hg I and the 6p2P1/2, 2P3/2, 6d2D3/2, 2D5/2, and 7s2S1/2 levels of Hg II. The energy loss sustained by the ions in passing through the carbon foil is determined using an extended Doppler-shift technique. Constrained curve-fitting and arbitrarily normalized decay curve analyses are used to overcome problems caused by blending between transitions from the 6s6d1D2 and 3D1 levels of Hg I. The f values obtained from the resonance transitions are 1.14 ± 0.04 (Hg I) and 0.648 ± 0.022 (Hg II), in agreement with the trends found previously for higher Z ions in the Hg I and Au I isoelectronic sequences.

We have measured radiative lifetimes for 19 excited levels in F I–IV and Si II–IV by the beam–foil technique. The production of silicon beams by the use of SF6 as the source gas is discussed. The lifetime results are compared with theory and experiment where possible, and 7 new experimental lifetimes are presented.
