Coherence measurement of tensor multipoles of asymmetrically excited atomic states

  • 1. Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720

Description

A specific coherence measurement technique is described, which yields the relative magnitudes of all predicted orientation and alignment parameters in tilted-foil-excited levels of ions and atoms. Quantum-beat frequencies and relative magnitudes are measured as a function of applied magnetic field strength and direction, and analyzed using Fano-Macek theory. The multipole moments of tilted-foil-excited 40-keV 4He 4d1D2 atoms are measured and related to proposed excitation mechanisms
