A theory describing the effects of a DC magnetic field on a 3Σ+−1Π complex includes the influence on the energy positions of the 3Σ+ rovibrational levels, the change of their lifetimes as well as the strength of the 3Σ+←1Σ+ intercombination transitions. This is measured on the a′3Σ+(v=14)←X1Σ+(v=0) transition in CO where strong zero field mixing of the a′3Σ+(v=14) state with the A1Π(v=4) state occurs through spin-orbit coupling. a′←X excitation spectra are taken under fields of up to 1 Tesla. Lifetimes of various a′(v=14),N,Fi rotational levels are measured as a function of a magnetic field, where changes as large as 30% reveal a strong influence of the field on the mixing with the A1Π(v=4) state. A change in the singlet character of the a′3Σ+(v=14),N,Fi rovibrational levels alters the line intensities of their forbidden a′←X transition which arises due to intensity borrowing from the allowed A←X transition. From the measured lifetime values at 1 Tesla the changes in line intensities as well as absolute oscillator strengths for several a′(v=14)←X(v=0) rotational lines are derived. An increase in population transfer from X1Σ+(v=0),J to a′3Σ+(v=14),N,Fi of up to 51% is deduced. Finally, the energy levels and the lifetimes of the a′(v=14),N,Fi rotational levels in the high field regime beyond 4 Tesla are discussed. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
