Description:
Author(s): Carolyn Auchter, Thomas W. Noel, Matthew R. Hoffman, Spencer R. Williams, and Boris B. Blinov We present a measurement of the branching fractions for decay from the long-lived 5D 5/2 level in 138 Ba + . The branching fraction for decay into the 6S 1/2 ground state was found to be 0.846(25) stat (4) sys . We also report an improved measurement of the 5D 5/2 lifetime, τ 5D 5/2 =31.2(0.9) s. Together these ... [Phys. Rev. A 90, 060501] Published Wed Dec 17, 2014
