The intrinsic lifetime of the upper level in the bound-bound 3d$^9$4s$^2$ $^2$D$_{3/2}$ $rightarrow$ 3d$^9$4s$^2$ $^2$D$_{5/2}$ radiative transition in Ni$^-$ was measured to be 15.1 $pm$ 0.4 s. The experiment was performed at cryogenic temperatures in one of the ion-beam storage rings of the DESIREE (Double ElectroStatic Ion Ring Experiment) facility at Stockholm University. The storage lifetime of the Ni$^-$ ion-beam was measured to be close to five minutes at a ring temperature of 13 K.

We present a lifetime measurements of the 6s level of rubidium. We use a time-correlated single-photon counting technique on two different samples of rubidium atoms. A vapor cell with variable rubidium density and a sample of atoms confined and coole d in a magneto-optical trap. The 5P_{1/2} level serves as the resonant intermediate step for the two step excitation to the 6s level. We detect the decay of the 6s level through the cascade fluorescence of the 5P_{3/2} level at 780 nm. The two samples have different systematic effects, but we obtain consistent results that averaged give a lifetime of 45.57 +- 0.17 ns.
The intrinsic radiative lifetimes of the $5d^{10}6s$ $^{2}text{S}_{1/2}$ and $5d^{9}6s^{2}$ $^{2}text{D}_{3/2}$ bound excited states in the platinum anion $text{Pt}^{-}$ have been studied at cryogenic temperatures at the Double ElectroStatic Ion Ring Experiment (DESIREE) facility at Stockholm University. The intrinsic lifetime of the higher-lying $5d^{10}6s$ $^{2}text{S}_{1/2}$ state was measurement to be 2.54$pm$0.10 s, while only a lifetime in the range of 50 - 200 ms could be estimated for the $5d^{9}6s^{2}$ $^{2}text{D}_{3/2}$ fine-structure level. The storage lifetime of the $text{Pt}^{-}$ ion beam was measured to be a little over 15 minutes at a ring temperature of 13 K. The present study reports the lifetime of an atomic negative ion in an excited bound state with an electron configuration different from that of the ground state.
We present a precise measurement of the lifetime of the 6p 2P_1/2 excited state of a single trapped ytterbium ion (Yb+). A time-correlated single-photon counting technique is used, where ultrafast pulses excite the ion and the emitted photons are cou pled into a single-mode optical fiber. By performing the measurement on a single atom with fast excitation and excellent spatial filtering, we are able to eliminate common systematics. The lifetime of the 6p 2P_1/2 state is measured to be 8.12 +/- 0.02 ns.
We present a measurement of the branching fractions for decay from the long-lived $5D_{5/2}$ level in Ba. The branching fraction for decay into the $6S_{1/2}$ ground state was found to be $0.846(25)_{mathrm{stat}}(4)_{mathrm{sys}}$. We also report an improved measurement of the $5D_{5/2}$ lifetime, $tau_{5D_{5/2}}=31.2(0.9)$~s. Together these measurements provide the first experimental determination of transition rates for decay out of the $5D_{5/2}$ level. The low ($<7 times 10^{-12}$~Torr) pressure in the ion trap in which these measurements were made simplified data acquisition and analysis. Comparison of the experimental results with theoretical predictions of the transition rates shows good agreement.
Starting from an ultracold sample of ground-state $^{23}$Na$^{87}$Rb molecules, we investigate the lowest ro-vibrational level of the $b^3Pi$ state with high resolution laser spectroscopy. This electronic spin-forbidden $X^1Sigma^+ leftrightarrow b^3 Pi$ transition features a nearly diagonal Franck-Condon factor and has been proposed useful for probing and manipulating the ultracold molecular gas. We measure the transition strength directly by probing the ac Stark shift induced by near resonance light and determine the total excited-state spontaneous emission rate by observing the loss of molecules. From the extracted branching ratio and the theoretical modeling, we find that the leakage to the continuum of the $a^3Sigma^+$ state plays the dominant role in the total transition linewidth. Based on these results, we show that it is feasible to create optical trapping potentials for maximizing the rotational coherence with laser light tuned to near this transition.
