Nuclear recoil effect on the magnetic-dipole decay rates of atomic levels
Abstract
The effect of finite nuclear mass on the magnetic-dipole transition probabilities between fine-structure levels of the same term is investigated. Based on a rigorous QED approach a nonrelativistic formula for the recoil correction to first order in me/M is derived. Numerical results for transitions of experimental interest are presented.
