Measurement of the lifetime of the 3d2D5/2 state in 40Ca+
A linear ion trap apparatus was used to measure the lifetime of the D5/2 level in 40Ca+ by quantum jump measurements on a single trapped ion. Compared to previous measurements, more precise and significantly larger results were obtained. Overall, the apparatus provided a precise test of ab initio at...
