摘要
The precise determination of the energy of the Lyman alpha 1 and alpha 2 lines in hydrogen-like heavy ions provides a sensitive test of quantum electrodynamics in very strong Coulomb fields. For the first time, a calorimetric low-temperature detector was applied in an experiment to precisely determine the transition energy of the Lyman lines of lead ions Pb-207(81+) at the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) at GSI. The detectors consist of silicon thermistors, provided by the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, and Pb or Sn absorbers to obtain high quantum efficiency in the energy range of 40-80 keV, where the Doppler-shifted Lyman lines are located. The measured energy of the Lyman alpha 1 line, E(Ly-alpha 1, (207)pb(81+)) = (7793 +/- 12(stat) +/- 23(syst)) eV, agrees within errors with theoretical predictions. The systematic error is mainly due to uncertainties in the non-linear energy calibration of the detectors as well as the relative position of detector and gas-jet target.
