Abstract

The radiative widths of two ¹⁶O levels were determined using photon scattering and self-absorption measurements. The results were Γ₀(6.917)=0.0940.004 eV and Γ₀(7.117)=0.0540.004 eV. The effective temperature T_e of the O atom in a water target is calculated by accounting for the effect of the zero-point molecular vibrations of the atom. The influence of this new value of T_e on the Doppler broadening of the nuclear level and hence on the resulting value of Γ₀ as deduced from a self-absorption measurement is discussed.
