Abstract
Linear and circular polarisation measurements have been carried out for photons from the 63P1-61S0 transition in mercury, which were detected in delayed coincidence with electrons having excited the 63P1 state. These measurements have been used to determine values for the parameters lambda , chi and the spin-orbit phase angles Delta and epsilon for the 61S0 to 63P1 to 61S0 excitation/de-excitation process in mercury.Keywords
