We describe an inexpensive instructional experiment that demonstrates the rotational energy levels of diatomic nitrogen, using the emission band spectrum of molecular nitrogen ionized by various processes in a commercial AC capillary…
In a recent work we have proposed an original analytic expression for the partition function of the quartic oscillator. This partition function, which has a simple and compact form with {\it no adjustable parameters}, reproduces some key…
In this paper, energy levels, radiative rates and lifetimes are reported for 11 F-like ions with 12 $\le$ Z $\le$ 23. Up to 198 levels (depending on the ion) have been considered which include 113 of the 2s$^2$2p$^5$, 2s2p$^6$,…

Half-lives of radionuclides span more than 50 orders of magnitude. We characterize the probability distribution of this broad-range data set at the same time that explore a method for fitting power-laws and testing goodness-of-fit. It is…
We present experimental atomic lifetimes for 12 levels in Sb I, out of which seven are reported for the first time. The levels belong to the 5p$^2$($^3$P)6s $^{2}$P, $^{4}$P and 5p$^2$($^3$P)5d $^{4}$P, $^{4}$F and $^{2}$F terms. The…
The pi+pi- atom decays -in the ground state - predominantly into two neutral pions. We present a general expression for the corresponding decay width in the framework of QCD (including photons). It contains all terms at leading and…
