Abstract
The lifetime of the first excited state of zinc, calcium, and strontium has been measured by the zero-field level-crossing technique. The results are: zinc sec, calcium sec, and strontium sec. The results are compared to earlier experimental results and also to theoretical predictions. It is found that our results are in excellent agreement with the Bates and Damgaard Coulomb approximation method for estimating the oscillator strengths.
