The relaxation times T
1for the grouud state levels in ruby were measured in the temperature range 4.2 to 1.6°K for the various concentrations of the

ions

from 0.05 to 0.7 percent. The dependence

of the form

with

has been obtained for the different transitions. The measurements of relaxation times for

transition at zero magnetic field were especially aimed at establishing a form of dependence

because of the absence of the cross relaxation effects in this case. The normal temperature dependence

has been obtained at all concentrations in comparison with anomalous dependences observed at high concentrations by some researchers.
