Re-Optimized Energy Levels and Ritz Wavelengths of (198)Hg I

The procedure of level optimization for the (198)Hg I spectrum emitted by electrodeless discharge lamps is revisited. Wavelength-measurement uncertainties and systematic shifts caused by interactions with the buffer gas and by calibration procedures are carefully analyzed and accounted for. Based on...

Sumario:The procedure of level optimization for the (198)Hg I spectrum emitted by electrodeless discharge lamps is revisited. Wavelength-measurement uncertainties and systematic shifts caused by interactions with the buffer gas and by calibration procedures are carefully analyzed and accounted for. Based on this extended analysis of the original measurements, the energy levels are re-optimized, which results in an improved set of level values consistent with the revised measured wavelengths. The newly obtained reliable Ritz wavelengths can be used as secondary wavelength standards in the wide range from 1200 Å to 65 000 Å.
