Studies of xenon atoms in high Rydberg states

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., A, v. 12, no. 4, pp. 1453-1458
Thermal beams of xenon atoms in single high Rydberg states have been produced by photoexcitation of Xe($sup 3$$P$$sub 0$) metastable atoms. The highly excited states which were populated in this way were identified as np1/2$sub 1$ with 11less than or equal tonless than or equal to16 and nf3/2$sub 1$ with 8less than or equal tonless than or equal to40. The field ionization characteristics and radiative lifetimes of these atoms have been studied.
