Double Rydberg states of high angular momentum (l = 6--8) produced in Ar VIII by Ar/sup 9+/-Cs collisions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Doubly excited states have been produced in Ar VIII by double electron capture from cesium atoms by 90-keV Ar/sup 9+/ ions. The transitions between 1s/sup 2/2s/sup 2/2p/sup 5/5g7l (l = 3,...,6) 1s/sup 2/2s/sup 2/2p/sup 5/5g8l (l = 4,...,7), and 1s/sup 2/2s/sup 2/2p/sup 5/5g9l (l = 5,...,8) double Rydberg states have been observed by photon decays. The spectra have been analyzed using an independent-particle framework with a frozen-core approximation leading to a good agreement for transition energies.
