Abstract:
We report on improved isotope shift measurements of the isotopes 40,42,44,48Ca in the
4s2S1/2→4p2P3/2 transition using collinear laser spectroscopy. Accurately known isotope shifts in the 4s2S1/2→4p2P1/2 (D1) transition were used to calibrate the ion beam energy with an uncertainty of ΔU ≈ ± 0.25 V. The accuracy in the D2 transition was improved
by a factor of 5–10. A King-plot analysis of the two transitions revealed that the field shift factor
in the D2 line is about 1.8(13)% larger than in the D1 transition which is ascribed to relativistic
contributions of the 4p1/2 wave function.
