Beam-foil spectroscopy in the 3–6 nm soft-X-ray range

Lifetime of the 2s 3p 3 P 01 level in Be-like Mg, Al and Si

Abstract

A grazing-incidence spectrometer for the wavelength range λ≦13 nm has been built and tested with foil-excited fast oxygen ions. The new apparatus has been used to study the variation of the 2s 3p 3 P 01 level lifetime in the Be isoelectronic sequence by observation of the intercombination decay to the 2s 2 1 S 0 ground state. The experimental problems are described. The results agree with only some of the theoretical predictions.
