Abstract
A new method is presented for cascade-free high-precision lifetime measurements of highly excited atomic states. Experimental examples are given for the lifetimes of the level and the Ne level. The experimental arrangement uses a fast ion beam which is excited in a gas cell and, after a definite time of flight, is further excited by a continuous-wave intracavity dye-laser beam. Further possible applications of the method are mentioned.
