Signal of collisional beatings of polarization of light as a function of the angular momentum of an excited atomic state

A. G. Petrashen, V. N. Rebane, T. K. Rebane

A comparative study of the beats of circular polarization generated by anisotropic atomic collisions is carried out on the basis of theoretical calculations for the states J =1, 3/2, and 2 of neon atoms and ions excited by monochromatic laser radiation in xenon atmosphere. Contributions made by ordinary alignment and higher polarization moments (octupole orientation and dodecapole alignment) in the collisional generation of orientation and the signal of beatings of circular polarization are compared.

Effect of the orientation of Rydberg atoms on their collisional ionization cross section

Akilesh Venkatesh, F. Robicheaux

Collisional ionization between two Rydberg atoms in relative motion is examined. A classical trajectory Monte Carlo method is used to determine the cross sections associated with Penning ionization. The dependence of the ionization cross section on the magnitude and the direction of orbital angular momentum of the electrons and the direction of the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector of the electrons is studied. For a given magnitude of angular momentum, there can exist a difference of a factor of up to $\ensuremath{\sim}2.5$ in the ionization cross section between the orientations with the highest and the lowest ionization cross section. The case of exchange ionization is examined and its dependence on the magnitude of angular momentum is studied.
