Abstract
The energy separation of has been measured by the method of laser magnetic resonance in electron-beam-excited . The measurements have also provided Zeeman tuning coefficients for terms up to fourth order in the field . Motional-Stark-effect (MSE)-dominated line shapes are observed at most fields. These line shapes are analyzed, and their Doppler-free portions used to obtain a value for the energy separation with a precision exceeding 1 ppm ( ). Arguments are presented that show the importance of the MSE in magnetically confined hot plasmas and in certain collapsed stars possessing high magnetic fields.
