Abstract

Intensities in the Tm i emission series originating from a common upper level are measured using a Fourier transform spectrometer. The derived relative transition probabilities within each series are compared to the theoretical predictions obtained from large-scale calculations that combine configuration interaction with many-body perturbation theory. Moreover, the Tm i spectrum recorded in an external magnetic field is analyzed. Our theoretical results well describe the current measurements and show no more than a two-fold difference from previous experimental data on absolute transition probabilities. Additionally, Landé g factors, hyperfine structure constants, and atomic electric quadrupole moments for several levels of interest are computed and compared to experimental observations, where available.
