Abstract

Relative transition probabilities of 13 transitions between the 3 p 54 s and 3 p 54 p configurations in Ar I have been measured in emission with a wall-stabilized arc. These data have been combined to yield relative lifetimes which are compared with recent direct lifetime measurements. An important consideration in our experiment was to minimize effects of radiation imprisonment since this effect may have played an important role in lifetime measurements by other methods. Our results agree well with most previously published lifetime data and emission measurements.
