Interference of Hydrogen Atom 2P(1/2) State in a Field of a Few Small Perturbations

Yu. A. Kucheryaev, Yu. L. Sokolov

The interference of hydrogen atom 2P(1/2) state in a field of a few small overlapping perturbations is considered in view of further applications to experimental data interpretation. On a basis of this model two new experiments are proposed which can clarify some features of Sokolov effect.

New Experimental Results on the Interference of the States of the Hydrogen Atom Due to Long-Range Interaction with the Metal Surface

Yu. A. Kucheryaev

The interference of the 2 P state of the hydrogen atom due to unknown long-range interaction with the metal surface (Sokolov effect) has been studied by an atomic interferometer. In contrast to previous experiments, where an atomic beam passed through slits in metal plates, a beam in the presented experiments passes at a given distance from the edges of the plates. It has been found that the interference is clearly observed if two plates are located on the same side of the beam. However, this interference disappears if one plate is displaced to the opposite side. This result cannot be explained in the framework of the available hypotheses on the nature of the effect under investigation.
