Lifetime determination of the 5d${}^2$~${}^3$F${}_2$ state in barium using trapped atoms

S. De, U. Dammalapati, L. Willmann

Magneto-optically trapped atoms enable the determination of lifetimes of metastable states and higher lying excited states like the $5{\mathrm{d}}^2{}^3{\mathrm{F}}_2$ state in barium. The sta…
