Description

We report polarizability measurements of atomic cesium's 6d3/2 state. The scalar and tensor polarizabilities are determined from hyperfine-resolved Stark-shift measurements using two-photon laser-induced-fluorescence spectroscopy of an effusive beam. The resulting values are α0=-5310(180)a03 and α2=8650(260)a03. In addition, our measurements yield the hyperfine coupling constants A=16.36(15) MHz and B=-0.7(8) MHz, which agree with previous measurements. We also present relativistic all-order calculations of both scalar and tensor polarizabilities. The resulting theoretical values, α0=-5686(121)a03 and α2=8750(82)a03, are in agreement with the present experimental results.
