Abstract The electron-photon delayed coincidence technique has been used to measure precisely the lifetime for the 4p1P0 state in calcium. The lifetime of this state was obtained by measuring the time correlation spectrum between the inelastically scattered electrons and the corresponding de-excitation photons. By using the least-squares fitting program to fit Gale's equation to the data points, a value of (4.15±0.17) ns was obtained. The result was compared to some of the earlier experimental measurements.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
