Abstract

With a new two-crystal vacuum spectrometer a systematic and precise study of 36 $L$ series emission lines of silver has been made which includes measurements of wave-lengths, relative intensities, line widths and indices of asymmetry. These lines include 21 satellite lines. The contours of the three $L$ absorption edges of silver were also recorded. From these data have been determined the widths of all the energy levels for single ionization of silver. From the widths of satellite lines are discussed the widths of certain states of double ionization.
