Abstract

Laser-induced fluorescence from a beam of xenon ions has been used to determine the hyperfine structures of two levels from the

5 p^{4} 5 d

and

5 p^{4} 6 p

excited configurations of

{}^{129}{Xe}^{+}

and

{}^{131}{Xe}^{+}

. The coupling constants (in MHz) were found to be as follows:

A_{129} (6 p {}^{4}P_{\frac{5}{2}}^{o}) = - 1667.5 \pm 18.7

,

A_{129} (5 d {}^{4}D_{\frac{7}{2}}) = - 515.7 \pm 8.9

,

A_{131} (6 p {}^{4}P_{\frac{5}{2}}^{o}) = 487.5 \pm 5.2

,

B_{131} (6 p {}^{4}P_{\frac{5}{2}}^{o}) = - 107.2 \pm 52.3

,

A_{131} (5 d {}^{4}D_{\frac{7}{2}}) = 149.4 \pm 3.2

, and

B_{131} (5 d {}^{4}D_{\frac{7}{2}}) = 76.1 \pm 27.5

. The data also yielded values for the very small isotope shifts.
