Abstract

The accuracy of oscillator strength and lifetime measurements has improved greatly in the past twenty years. Nevertheless, these high accuracies have been achieved for only a restricted number of lines belonging to a few elements and ionization stages [17.1]. Large numbers of precision measurements must still be made as improved experimental oscillator strengths are needed, both as tests of theoretical concepts, and for diagnostics and engineering applications.
