Resonant Rydberg-atom--Rydberg-atom collisions

  • 1. Molecular Physics Laboratory, SRI International, Menlo Park, California 94025

Description

The experimental investigation of the resonant collision process Nans+Nans→Nanp+Na(n-1)p which occurs when the levels are tuned with an electric field so that the ns level lies midway between the two p levels is described in detail. The observations are shown to be in good agreement with a long-range resonant dipole-dipole interaction
