Abstract
We report on a calculation of five lifetimes of metastable levels in Ar II, obtained with a relativistic Hartree-Fock method in which most of the intravalence correlation is represented within a configuration interaction scheme while core-valence correlation is described by a core-polarization model potential with a core-penetration corrective term. The quality of the calculation has been assessed through an experimental determination of the radiative lifetime of the metastable 3d 4F9/2 level. The experiment was performed with a laser probing technique on a stored ion beam at the CRYRING of Stockholm.
