Abstract :
A summary of measurements of radiative lifetimes for 34 separate upper laser levels in noble-gas ion systems is presented. The technique used is pulsed excitation by threshold-energy electron impact followed by multichannel delayed-coincidence analysis. Results are specifically given for the

states of Ne+, the

states of Ar+, the

states of Kr+, and the

states of Xe+. The errors in measurement range from ≈ 2 to 6 percent.
