Description
The King plot technique widely used for isotopes of heavy atoms is
extended to light heliumlike ions by taking second differences to
eliminate large mass polarization corrections [1]. The effect of a
hypothetical electron-neutron interaction propagated by light bosons is
included and a comprehensive survey of all second-King plot transitions
for all states of Li$^+$ up to $n = 10$ and $L = 7$ is presented in
order to find the ones most sensitive to new physics due to light
bosons. The sensitivity is found to be comparable to that for the
recently studied case of Yb$^+$.
