Abstract  An experimental measurement of the lifetime of $3\rm d^9$ $^2{\rm D}_{3/2}$ metastable level in Mo$^{15+}$ is reported in this work. The Mo$^{15+}$ ions are produced and trapped in an electron beam ion trap with a magnetic field of 0.65 T. The decay photons emitted from $3\rm d^9$ $^2{\rm D}_{3/2}$ level are subsequently recorded via a cooled photomultiplier tube. Through meticulous scrutiny of potential systematic uncertainties affecting the measurement outcomes, we have determined the lifetime of Mo$^{15+}$ $3\rm d^9$ $^2{\rm D}_{3/2}$ metastable level to be 2.83(22) ms. The experimental result provides a clear distinguishment from existing calculations based on various theoretical approaches.
