Abstract
The lifetime of the 5p2P1/2 level of Sr+ has been measured using the Hanle effect, or zero field level crossing technique, with optical excitation from the ground state of the ion. Circularly polarized light is used in the excitation and analysis. The ions are produced in a discharge at the mouth of the furnace used to produce a beam of strontium atoms. No foreign gas is used to carry the discharge. The oscillator strength of the 4215 Å, 5s2S1/2–5p2P1/2 transition is discussed.Keywords
