Hyperfine structure and zero field quantum beats

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5702391
The consequences of zero field quantum beat studies in electron impact to the measurement of scattering parameters in electron sodium collision is explored. The beats in sodium, which were first observed in an electron photon coincidence experiment, arise from the decay of coherently excited hyperfine levels in the J = 3/2 level of the 3/sup 2/P state.
