摘要
The lifetime of the 1s2s S-3(1) level of the He-like O6+ ion has been measured using the Electron Beam Ion Trap in the magnetic trapping mode. A value of 956(-4)(+5): ps is found, which corresponds to a radiative transition rate of 1046(-5)(+4) s(-1) for the magnetic dipole transition to the 1s(2) S-1(0) ground state. This value is in excellent agreement with recent theoretical predictions and distinguishes among different treatments of negative energy states and correlation in multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock calculations.
