Lifetime measurement of the 2 3P0 state in He-like uranium

In recent years for the fundamental theory of quantum electrodynamics, considerable progress in the evaluation of higher order corrections has been achieved—not only for hydrogen—but also for helium-like systems—up to very heavy nuclei. We were aiming at a more precise determination of the lifetime of the metastable 2 3P0 state in He-like uranium which has a calculated value of 57.3 ps [, ]. From the lifetime it is possible to derive the energy of the state. In October 2011 we were able to perform a first test experiment at GSI, Darmstadt to study the feasibility of a new experimental detection technique. This advanced set-up consists of two state-of-the-art energy-, time- and position-sensitive germanium detectors [] in combination with collimators in a Soller-slit like assembly. A beam of U91+-ions at an energy of 290 MeV u−1 is passed through a thin nickel foil in the interaction chamber. From the decrease in intensity as a function of the target distance one may extract a decay curve from which the lifetime can be derived. The advantages of this new set-up, in comparison to former experiments [, ] will be discussed and the results of a preliminary data analysis will be presented.
