Lifetimes of the 5d(9)6p levels in HgIII

• We report measurements and theoretical calculations for the lifetimes of the 5d(9)6p levels in Hg nr with J = 0,2,3,4. This is an extension of earlier measurements of the lifetimes of the 5d(9)6p levels in Hg III with J = 1, and now provides data for all 12 of the levels. The results also provide an isoelectronic comparison with earlier studies of these levels in Au II of the Pt sequence, and a homologous comparison with earlier studies of the 4d(9)5p levels in Ag II, Cd III, and In IV in the Pd sequence.
