Abstract
The polarisations of four excited levels in 40Ar+ ions have been measured at different times after excitation in a beam-tilted-foil experiment. Within the uncertainties typical of present beam-foil work, the possible transfer of polarisation resulting from optical cascades has no observable effect on time-resolved quantum-beat measurements.Keywords
