Popis: The wavelengths of the 1s{sub 1/2}-2p{sub 1/2} and 1s{sub 1/2}-2p{sub 3/2} Lyman-{alpha} transitions have been measured in hydrogenic Mg{sup 11+} with an accuracy as high as 24 ppm. The measurement was carried out on an electron-beam ion trap and utilized a quasimonolithic crystal setup absolutely calibrated relative to optical standards. The resulting values for the two transitions were 0.84250{plus_minus}0.00004 and 0.84190{plus_minus}0.00002nm, respectively. The measurement confirms calculations of the 1s-2p wavelengths and tests the size of the 1s Lamb shift to within 13{percent}. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
