Using a model we have previously developed, we have investigated the lifetime of the first five members of the Rydberg series that can exist in the vicinity of a metallic surface. We found that we enter quickly into the asymptotic regime, the whole process scaling finally as 1/n/sup 3/ and allowing one in principle to resolve the entire series.
