Show affiliationsRecently measured radiative lifetimes of the Rydberg series 6pns (n = 8-13) and 6pnd (n = 6-11) J = 1 states of Pb I (Li Z S, Svanberg S, Biémont E, Palmeri P and Zhankui J 1998 Phys. Rev. A 57 3443) have been compared with theoretical values obtained by multichannel quantum defect theory analyses. The channel admixture coefficients were obtained from experimentally determined energy levels and are used to evaluate the theoretical lifetimes. The lifetime values for highly excited Rydberg states have also been predicted.
