Abstract
It is shown that the magnetic field induces the radiative decay of metastable states of inert gases by mixing them with resonant sublevels of the lowest multiplet. The polarization and frequency structures of the “forbidden” lines induced by the magnetic field are determined, and the dependence of the intensity of π and σ components of these lines on the magnetic field is calculated. The effect is totally governed by the paramagnetic atom-field interaction, and the influence of the diamagnetic interaction is insignificant.
