Description
Radiative lifetimes of 79 levels belonging to the 3d^3^4s4p, 3d^4^4p, 3d^3^4s5p, 3d^4^5p, and 3d^3^4s4d configurations of V I with energy from 26604.807 to 46862.786cm^-1^ have been measured using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence (TR-LIF) spectroscopy in laser-produced plasma. The lifetime values reported in this paper are in the range of 3.3-494ns, and the uncertainties of these measurements are within +/-10%. A good agreement was obtained with previous data. HFR+CPOL (Hartree-Fock with relativistic corrections method - Cowan; 1981tass.book.....C + core-polarization; Quinet et al. 1999MNRAS.307..934Q) calculations have been performed and used to combine the calculated branching fractions with the available experimental lifetimes to determine semi-empirical transition probabilities for 784 V I transitions.
