D. Klar et al., HIGH-RESOLUTION MEASUREMENT AND QUANTUM-DEFECT ANALYSIS FOR THE NE ND' J=1, 2 AND 3 AUTOIONIZING RESONANCES, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 27(20), 1994, pp. 4897-4907
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.
