Abstract
Using two pulsed tunable dye lasers, a two colour multiphoton ionization process has been utilised to explore the higher energy levels of uranium. One hundred and thirty eight new UI levels have been observed in the 37540–38420 cm−1 region. J assignments of these levels have been suggested on the basis of their excitation from intermediate levels with known and contiguous J values. In eight cases the J assignments are unique.
