Transition probabilities, oscillator strengths, and test ofJ-file sum rule for the 2p53p → 2p53s transition array in the neon emission spectra

Abstract

In this work experimental transition probabilities, line strengths, and atomic oscillator strengths of 30 spectral lines corresponding to the 2p53p → 2p53s transitions array of neon have been deduced using a neon-filled hollow cathode lamp in conjunction with two spectrographs covering the wavelength region from 500 to 1000 nm. The experimental absolute transition probabilities have been determined using the relative intensity method and lifetimes of the excited states. The transition probabilities have been converted to the line strengths data and used for testing the J-file sum rule. Relative line strengths of all the lines have been computed to determine the oscillator strength values. The measured transition probabilities, oscillator strengths, and relative line strengths agree well with the previously reported data.
