Isotope shifts of C I spectral lines and their application to radioactive dating by laser-assisted mass spectrometry.
We have calculated isotope shifts for several one- and two-photon transitions in neutral carbon. The results provide a unified interpretation of existing experimental data, and they demonstrate the applicability of a new method of ultrasensitive isotope trace analysis to carbon.
