Accurate lifetime measurements for the noble gases by the electron beam alignment technique

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

Accurate lifetime measurement for the 41 P 1, 41 D 2, 51 D 2 helium and the atomic 2p and 3p states of other noble gases was performed by the low energy electron beam alignment technique. An account of the influence of magnetic field on the electron path was made to obtain the real Hanle signal shape. The influence of the radiation trapping in the collision chamber was analysed with regard to the metastables diffusion. The experimental data were compared with the results of other methods of the lifetime determination.
