Abstrakt: We have measured radiative lifetimes in the 5 s n p P ( n=5-29) and 5 s n f F ( n=4-11) Rydberg series in neutral strontium. The measurements were performed with single-step laser excitation starting from the ground state or from a metastable state populated by collisions. The decay photons were detected using delayed coincidence technique or a transient recorder. The presence of configuration interaction in the 5 s n p P series can be observed around n=8. The perturbation in the 5 s n f F series is not reflected in the behaviour of the lifetime values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
