| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We performed precision measurement of the lifetime of the metastable state in doubly charged Kr ions. In general lifetimes of metastable states of ions have been determined by measuring the photons emitted during the transition using ion traps. However, for commonly used ion traps, it is difficult to estimate the destruction of the trapped ions by collisions (neutralization or scattering) with residual gases. This estimation significantly influences to the accuracy of the lifetime measurement. In this study, we precisely monitored the variation in the number of stored ions over time using an electrostatic linear ion trap. This enabled to improve the measurement accuracy of the lifetime of the metastable state.
