Abstract

A systematic study of radiative lifetimes of low-lying levels in Clxv through ClIx has been made using the beam-foil time-of-flight techniques. These results are used to derive $f$ values for allowed $\ensuremath{\Delta}n=0$ transitions of the type $2{s}^{2}2{p}^{k}\ensuremath{-}2s2{p}^{k+1}$ and $2s2{p}^{k+1}\ensuremath{-}2{p}^{k+2}$.
