Lifetimes of 2p53p and 2p53d Levels in Ti XIII.

Abstract

Decay curves for three 2p53s-2p53p and eight 2p53p-2p53d transitions of neonlike Ti XIII have been measured using the beam-foil technique. The experimental lifetimes of two 2p53p and seven 2p53d levels have been obtained. Decay curves of 3p levels have been analyzed by using the ANDC (Arbitrary Normalized Decay Curve) method taking into account the cascade transitions and those of 3d levels have been done by multiexponential fitting. The results are compared with another experimental data set and some theoretical values.
