Abstract
The results of beam-foil measurements of lifetimes for low-lying singlet levels in Mg-like chlorine, Cl VI, are presented. The decay curves were analyzed by means of the arbitrarily normalized decay curve method, combined with the recently developed CANYL code, which facilitates studies of decay chains. Cascade corrected data are presented for the levels 3[ital s]3[ital p] [sup 1][ital P], 3[ital p][sup 2] [sup 1][ital S], 3[ital p][sup 2] [sup 1][ital D], and 3[ital s]3[ital d] [sup 1][ital D], whereas less rigorous lifetime values, based on curve fits, were obtained for the 3[ital p]3[ital d] [sup 1][ital D], 3[ital p]3[ital d] [sup 1][ital F], and 3[ital s]4[ital f] [sup 1][ital F] levels. The data are in excellent agreement with recent theoretical values, and previous discrepancies between experiment and theory for short-lived states have been removed.
