Towards a Measurement of the n=2 Lamb Shift in Hydrogen-like Nitrogen Using an Electron Beam Ion Trap
Using a 14C16O2 laser the 2s 1/2–2p 3/2 (fine structure – Lamb shift) transition has been induced in 14N6+ ions trapped in an electron beam ion trap. Prospects for a measurement of the Lamb shift in hydrogen-like...
