High resolution spectra of neutral silver have been recorded by Fourier Tra
nsform Spectrometry in the region 2 000-8 280 Angstrom (50 000-12 000 cm(-1
)) with silver-neon and silver-argon hollow cathode lamps as sources. This
work represents order-of-magnitude improvements, compared to previous work
on Ag I, in accuracy of transition wavelengths and wavenumbers, and energy
level values. 35 classified Ag I transitions are given, and the wavenumber
uncertainty for the strongest lines is less than 0.002 cm(-1). Improved val
ues for 28 energy levels are presented.
