Lifetimes for the 5p26s4P3/2and4P5/2Levels in Sb I Obtained by the Hanle Method

Abstract
Zero-field level-crossing signals were registered in two excited levels pertaining to the 5p26s configuration of Sb I, using natural antimony. Lifetimes for these levels were extracted by a theoretical fit to the experimental data with the results τ(5p26s4P3/2) = 5.1(6)ns τ(5p26s4P5/2) = 4.8(6)ns
