Long-Lived Levels in Multiply and Highly Charged Ions
Atoms and ions remain in some long-lived excited levels for much longer than in typical “normal” levels, but not forever. Various cases of this so-called metastability that occur in multiply or even highly charged ions are discussed in a tutorial review, as well as examples of atomic lifetime measur...
