Observation of ionization of laser excited sodium atoms by synchrotron radiation

  • 1. Universite Paris-Sud, Orsay, France

Description

In a triple, orthogonal crossed beam experiment, the authors studied photoionization of excited Na atoms. A cw ring dye laser (few W/cm2) locked to the D1 or D2 absorption lines excited up to 20% of the 1013 cm-3 ground state atoms to Na(3p 2P/sub 3/2/). Monochromatized synchrotron radiation from the ACO storage ring provided the photoionizing radiation. A cylindrical mirror electron spectrometer was used to measure photoelectron spectra. First measurements of the 2p63p → 2p53pelement ofel photoionization were obtained. Decay of autoionizing resonances to the 2p53p ionic channel were also observed
