The fluorescence spectra of four Rydberg series of Ybl have been obtained using laser stepwise excitation in atomic beam. The new energy level data of 6m S1 (n=15 to n=22) and 6s23s 1S0, 6s24s 1S0 are first reported.

A new method is described for the detection and study of cold Rydberg atoms. Cold atoms held in an AC-driven magneto optical trap (AC-MOT) are selectively laser excited to a Rydberg state in a stepwise process. Ions or electrons from interactions between Rydberg atoms are then electrostatically extracted and detected via a channel electron multiplier. The apparatus is capable of studying Rydberg atoms from n = 15 to n ∼ 220.
