Abstract

The intensity ratio of the two fine structure components in the 3s23p 2PJ–3s3p 2S1/2 and 2P1/2 resonance transitions has been measured in Al-like S IV, Cl V, Ar VI and Ti X, using the beam-foil technique. Unexpectedly large deviations from the LS ratios are found, particularly in the 2P–2S case. Although these deviations can be understood qualitatively from theoretical calculations (also reported), large quantitative discrepancies are observed in the beginning of the sequence.
