We present results covering the center-of-mass energy range 0 ? 4 eV. In addition to Rydberg series of resonances associated with ground-state intra L-shell excitations, resonances were found which are formed during DR of initially metastable 136Xe50+(2s2p 3P0) parent ions. This state is the first excited state and is long lived because the J=0 ? J=0 transition and the absence of nuclear spin make the rare E1M1 two-photon transition the lowest-order decay channel. Future measurements which will monitor the strength of the resonances as function of storage time may be exploited for a measurement of the E1M1 two photon transition rate. title: Towards a measurement of the 2s2p 3P0 ? 2s2 1S0 E1M1 two photon transition rate in Be-like xenon ions - Abstract - Journal of Physics: Conference Series - IOPscience citation_issn: 1742-6596 dc.type: Text dc:title: Towards a measurement of the 2s2p 3P0 ? 2s2 1S0 E1M1 two photon transition rate in Be-like xenon ions - Abstract - Journal of Physics: Conference Series - IOPscience citation_language: en dc.creator: D Bernhardt Content-Encoding: UTF-8 Content-Type-Hint: text/html; charset=UTF-8 citation_pdf_url: http://iopscience.iop.org/1742-6596/388/1/012007/pdf/1742-6596_388_1_012007.pdf robots: noarchive Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8 X-Parsed-By: org.apache.tika.parser.DefaultParser dc.description: Dielectronic recombination (DR) of Be-like 136Xe50+ was measured by employing the electron-ion merged-beam technique at the storage ring ESR of GSI in Darmstadt, Germany.
