Abstract

This paper will describe the properties of a class of core-excited atomic levels which have been termed quasimetastable.1 In alkali atoms and alkalilike ions, these levels autoionize at rates that are comparable to or slower than their radiative rates and, therefore, radiate intensely in the exteme UV. Because these rates are typically of the order of 108 s−1, these levels accumulate substantial population. The paper will describe three experiments based on the properties of these levels.
