Atomic level lifetimes have been measured on magnetic dipole (M1) transitions in Si-like, P-like, Ar-like, K-like, and Ca-like ions of Kr, using an electron-beam ion trap in magnetic trapping mode. The lifetimes are compared to various predictions, including the results of different calculations. In Ar-like ions, magnetic quadrupole (M2) transitions have been identified as significant competing decay channels.
