Abstract
In heliumlike ions with no nuclear spin, the 23P0 state decays primarily to the 23S1 state by an electric dipole radiative transition. In the case where the nucleus has spin, the interaction of the nuclear magnetic moment with the atomic electrons mixes electron states of different total angular momentum J, so that the one-photon dipole transition 23P0 → 11S0 is not forbidden. This additional decay mode has the effect of shortening the lifetime of the 23P0 state and gives rise to emitted X-rays with the energy E (23P0) − E(11S0).
