摘要：

Beam-foil excitation was used to populate the 3p, 4p, and 5p states in atomic hydrogen in order to measure their mean live. The results were 5.41 +/- 0.18, 11.25 +/- 0.78, and 21.9 +/- 3.0 nsec, respectively. All three decay curves displayed a long-lived component. It was found that compensation must be made for Rutherford scattering in order to avoid introducing significant errors. An experimental technique for eliminating these errors is presented.
