Abstract
The controlled evaporation of a heated tungsten wire was used to produce an atomic beam of tungsten. The atoms were excited selectively by the radiation of a pulsed dye laser. Time-resolved observation of the reemitted fluorescence with single-photon-counting technique yielded the lifetimes of 13 levels in the configuration (5d+6s)5 6p.
