EN The paper presents the results of the fine structure (fs) and the hyperfine structure (hfs) analysis of even-parity configuration levels of neutral lutetium (Lu I). The experimental results, obtained within this study using laserinduced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy or Fourier transform spectra, led to determination of the hfs constants for 17 levels, 5 of them evaluated for the first time. Using these new values, along with all the data available in the literature, we performed a semi-empirical parametric study of the fs and the hfs for the system of 147 even-parity configurations. A mean error of 𝛥𝐸 = 5.7 cm−1 for 174 energy levels was obtained. A very good consistency between the calculated and measured values was achieved for magnetic dipole constants (A); for electric quadrupole constants (B) the respective agreement was only slightly worse. For unknown electronic levels, predicted values of the level energies, Landé 𝑔𝐽 factors and the hfs constants are presented.
