Rydberg-Rydberg collisions: resonant enhancement of state mixing and penning ionization.
In rubidium Rydberg states, the collision nD_(5/2)+nD_(5/2)-->(n-2)F_(7/2)+(n+2)P_(3/2) is nearly resonant in the vicinity of n=43. As a result, over a short range of n centered around n approximately 43 the Rydberg-Rydberg interaction potential is quite large and turns from repulsive to attractive [Phys. Rev. A 75, 032712 (2007)10.1103/PhysRevA.75.032712]. We use state-selective field ionizati...
متن کاملOptical resonance detection by field ionization of Rydberg state in colinear laser spectroscopy
2014 New efficient non-optical detection methods of optical resonances in colinear laser spectroscopy are described. A first method uses the field ionization of a Rydberg state populated by means of two lasers : one is single frequency and interacts colinearly with the fast atomic beam, the other one is multimode and interacts perpendicularly. By detecting, at resonance, the produced ions inste...
متن کاملRydberg state ionization by half-cycle-pulse excitation: strong kicks create slow electrons.
The asymptotic velocity distribution of electrons ionized in half-cycle-pulse excitation of high Rydberg states (n=34), placed in a static electric field, is studied using electron velocity-map imaging. At weak half-cycle pulse strengths, the electrons escape over the saddle point in the potential. For strong half-cycle pulses, the electrons are emitted in the direction of the field kick. The m...
متن کاملIonization of oriented elliptic Rydberg states by half-cycle pulses
Recently sources of subpicosecond, unipolar ‘‘halfcycle’’ electromagnetic field pulses have been developed and employed to study the ionization of Rydberg atoms. These half-cycle pulses ~HCP! were used first to study the ionization of Rydberg atoms with well-defined angular momentum quantum numbers @1#. More recently HCP have been used also to study the ionization of extreme parabolic states or...
متن کامل2 00 9 Ionization of Rydberg atoms by blackbody radiation
We have studied ionization of alkali-metal Rydberg atoms by blackbody radiation (BBR). The results of theoretical calculations of ionization rates of Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs Rydberg atoms are presented. The calculations have been performed for nS, nP and nD states for principal quantum numbers n=8-65 at ambient temperatures of 77, 300 and 600 K. The calculations take into account the contributions...
