Abstract
In an atomic beam the metastable 3s3p 3 P-states of Mg I were populated by electron impact. A pulsed tunable dye laser was used to excite the metastable atoms to the 3snd3 D-(n=3–7) and to the 3sns3 S 1-states (n=4and 6). Observing the time dependence of the reemitted resonance light the lifetimes of these states were measured.
