Unidentified transitions in one-photon intrashell dynamics in Rydberg atoms
One-photon intrashell transitions in strongly driven Li (n = 25) atoms are studied experimentally. Thedegeneracy of the n shell is lifted by orthogonal dc electric and magnetic fields, which also define the eccentricity of the initial coherent elliptic state. The transitions are driven by a radio frequency pulse linearly polarized parallel to the major axis of the ellipse. A small dc electric field component parallel to the magnetic field splits the one-photon resonance into two, and transitions in between are studied by state-selective field ionization. Unexpected lines in the ionization spectra relating to unknown transitions are found and discussed.Fil: Preclíková, J.. University of Bergen; NoruegaFil: Waheed, A..
