- The n = 0 transition multiplet connecting the lowest quartet states of doubly excited C IV has been studied by beam-foil spectroscopy. The fine structure splittings obtained for the 1s2s2p 4p0and 1s2p2 4p terms confirm previous experimental results with an improved accuracy. The average transition wavelength = (1344.49 0.04)A is now more precisely determined by about a factor of eight. At the new level of precision this value shows a small but significant deviation from the best theoretical predictions. The lifetimes of the 1s2p2 4p levels have been determined as = (0.71 0.07)ns for 4P5/2 and = (1.66 0.13)ns for 4p3/2. The latter value disagrees with previous experimental results but is in excellent agreement with an isoelectronic trend analysis.
