Using the pulsed time structure:  atomic lifetime measured in few-bunch mode

 

 

Measured at

Sinchrotrone Trieste (Elettra)

 

[new pulsed light source

 Fermi 4GLS at Elettra]

 

 

 

hvi + He(1s2)

  He(2p3d)

  He(1snl) + hvf

- measurements achieved using storage ring orbit clock for time definition

- lifetime fitting check on He+(2p) lifetime

(99.717 ± 0:075 ps Drake et al 1992)

 

Lifetime 190 ± 30 ps
