Description

Millimeter-wave resonance spectroscopy has been used to measure the (n+2)d5/2 to nf5/2,7/2 transition frequencies of cold 85Rb atoms in a magneto-optical trap. From these intervals we extract substantially improved Rb nf quantum defects, fine structure intervals, and limits for the dipole and quadrupole polarizabilities of Rb+
