Abstract
Using the relative line intensity ratios method between transitions that belong to the same multiplet in the Ar III $(4{\rm s}-4{\rm p}, 4{\rm s}^\prime -4{\rm p}^\prime$ and $4{\rm p}^\prime -4{\rm d}^\prime$ transitions) and Ar IV ( ${\rm 4s-4p}$ and ${\rm 4s^\prime - 4p^\prime}$ transitions) spectra, some of the existing transition probability values (A) have been controlled. On the basis of the confirmed A values in Ar III (328.585 nm, 330.188 nm, 331.125 nm, 333.613 nm and 334.472 nm) and in Ar IV (280.944 nm and 278.896 nm) spectra two A values in Ar III and seven A values in Ar IV spectra have been determined, for the first time, relatively to the confirmed A values. Beside, some of the existing theoretical A data have been corrected, according to our experimentally observed relative line intensity ratio values. Measurements have been performed by using the linear low pressure pulsed arc, as an optically thin plasma source, operated in argon-helium mixture.

Key words: lines: atomic-data -transition probabilities -relative line intensity ratios

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
