Description

Three-step laser spectroscopy has been used to measure six additional fine-structure splittings in the n 2F states of 87Rb for 11≤n≤16. When combined with our previous measurements for 4≤n≤10, they constitute a continuous sequence of 13 measurements suitable for comparison to fine-structure calculations in heavy alkali-metal atoms where relativistic effects, core polarization, configuration mixing, and electron correlation are important.
