Spectral Distribution of Atomic Oscillator Strengths
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectrum of oscillator strength for neutral atoms in their ground states is surveyed with particular regard to recent progress in the far uv-soft x-ray range and to the theoretical interpretation of data from experiments and from numerical calculations.

Experimental determinations of the hyperfine structure in the alkali atoms
TL;DR: In this paper, the measurements of the hyperfine structure of free, naturally occurring, alkali atoms are reviewed and the experimental methods are discussed, as well as the relationships between hyperfine data and other atomic constants.

Dissociative Excitation of Some Oxygen-Containing Molecules: Lifetimes and Electron-Impact Cross Sections
TL;DR: In this article, the lifetime of seven vacuum-ultraviolet O I and O II emission multiplets were measured using a pulsed electron beam in low-pressure samples of CO, NO, and ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$O. The lifetimes and cascade patterns of the lines are consistent with known autoionization processes.

Dissociation by Electron Impact of Oxygen into Metastable Quintet and Long‐Lived High‐Rydberg Atoms
TL;DR: In this paper, a molecular beam time-of-flight method is used to measure the translational energy of high-Rydberg molecular orbital and the fragment kinetic energy distributions are discussed in terms of known and predicted states of O2 and O2+.
