title: Mean life measurements using the beam foil light source.
abstract: A procedure for making quantitative measurements of the mean lives of electronic levels in beam foilexcited ions is described. Special emphasis is given to the theoretical equations that must be fitted to data and various beam particle monitoring techniques.
