Abstract

The spectrum of neutral lithium remains of considerable interest to both theorists and experimentalists. There have been attempts to calculate from first principles the energy levels, hyperfine parameters and isotope shifts (see for example Ref. ¹); thus, good experimental values are important for comparison. The abundance of lithium is a key indicator for the age of a star; thus, accurate information on the stronger lithium lines becomes important in certain astrophysical problems.
