Abstract
The radiative lifetimes in the s and d Rydberg sequences of neutral boron were investigated by combining the methods of laser-pulse compression and frequency-up conversion. The multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock (MCHF) method was used to calculate the lifetimes. Rydberg sequences in boron showed strong irregularities in energy due to configuration interaction. The results also showed that the energy level structure was similar to that of a one-electron system.
