Collinear Laser Spectroscopy of the $1s2s\,^3\!S_1\rightarrow 1s2p\,^3\!P_{0,2}$ Transitions in Helium-like $^{11}$B$^{3+}$

We report on hyperfine structure measurements of the $1s2s\,{}^{3\!}S_1 \rightarrow 1s2p\,{}^{3\!}P_{0,2}$ fine-structure transitions in the spectrum of $^{11}$B$^{3+}$ ions. The helium-like ions were created in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) and ejected after a short production period of 15 ms. A challenge of the experiment was the treatment of the complex energy-time-profile of the created ion bunches and the sensitivity of the collinear laser spectroscopy to the starting potential inside the EBIT. Despite these complications and the low statistics of the experiment, we were able to confirm and improve the results of a previous measurement of these transitions. While we find moderate tension in the results for the hyperfine parameters of the $^{3\!}P_{0,2}$ levels, their fine-structure level energies are in reasonable agreement between experiments and with theory.
