Abstract
Using resonant two-photon excitation of a metastable Ne(2p(5)3s P-3(0, 2)) beam by two single-mode cw dye lasers, we have measured reduced wi dths Gamma(r)=n(3) Gamma(n) for the four Ne(2p(5)(P-2(1/2)) nd' [K](J )) autoionizing resonance series ([K](J)=[3/2](1), [3/2](2), [5/2](2), and [5/2](3)). The resulting values are Gamma(r) = 167(7), 350(7), 87 (2), and 73(3) cm(-1), respectively, in good agreement with prediction s by a semiempirical multichannel quantum-defect analysis involving co mplex quantum defects.
