Interference of Fine-Structure Levels of He ii

William S. Bickel, STANLEY BASHKIN

Passage of a beam of foil-excited ${\mathrm{He}}^{+}$ ions through a small electric field induced quasiperiodic fluctuations in the intensity of the light emitted from levels $n=7, 8, 9, \mathrm{and} 10$. Both ${\mathrm{He}}^{3}$ and ${\mathrm{He}}^{4}$ beams were used. Only one foil was needed, in contrast to the double-foil arrangement reported necessary for hydrogen. The observations are discussed in terms of Stark-induced interference of the fine-structure levels of He ii, but discrepancies between the data and the calculations are large.

Passage of a beam of foil-excited He+{\mathrm{He}}^{+}He+ ions through a small electric field induced quasiperiodic fluctuations in the intensity of the light emitted from levels n=7,8,9,and10n=7, 8, 9, \mathrm{and} 10n=7,8,9,and10. Both He3{\mathrm{He}}^{3}He3 and He4{\mathrm{He}}^{4}He4 beams were used. Only one foil was needed, in contrast to the double-foil arrangement reported necessary for hydrogen. The observations are discussed in terms of Stark-induced interference of the fine-structure levels of He ii, but discrepancies between the data and the calculations are large.
