Probing Rydberg atoms through collisions with helium in the presence of static electric and magnetic fields

We report on field induced inelasticity effects in state-to-state transitions caused by collisions of helium with Rydberg atoms in the presence of parallel static electric and magnetic fields. Due to the phases accumulated by the wavefunctions of the states involved into the collision events, the transition cross sections plotted as a function of the external fields exhibit modulations. When the relative velocity of the colliding atoms is high enough, these modulations are wiped out, while sizable modifications of the cross sections may take place due to the alteration of the wavefunctions' spatial localization. The possibility of using the field-assisted collisions as a probe giving information on localization of the Rydberg states is discussed.

Collisions of helium with Rydberg atoms in the presence of static electric and magnetic fields

Alignment and orientation effects in collisions of helium with Rydberg atoms due to the presence of static electric and magnetic fields are predicted. Analytical expressions are obtained for the cross sections of the state-to-state transitions within the manifold with the same principal quantum number. For moderate field-induced inelasticity, the curves of the cross sections vs the fields intensity show modulations that are explained in terms of the phase differences accumulated by the wave functions of the states involved in the collision. Due to the presence of the magnetic field, transitions involving inversion of high magnetic quantum numbers are dramatically quenched. The possibility of observing the predicted effects is discussed. The reported analytical cross sections are expected to help in the understanding of the results.
