Lifetime measurements by laser probing in CRYRING - Recent experimental developments

• A laser probing technique for lifetime measurements of long- lived metastable levels has been developed at the ion storage ring CRYRING. The method has been in use for about eight years and it has been applied to various ions. Levels with radiative lifetimes from a few milliseconds up to 28 s have been measured. The method has been continuously developed and this article is focused on recent experimental developments of the method in order to widen its applicability and to increase its efficiency and accuracy.
