Excitation Exchange and Collisional Relaxation of Rydberg Levels of Helium

Isotope-selective laser excitation has been used to study excitation exchange in collisions of helium Rydberg atoms with ground-state helium; this process is dominated by the interaction of the ionic core with the neutral atom and proceeds at the charge-exchange rate, the excited electron remaining a spectator.

Quenching collisions of rubidium in the nS (32⩽n⩽45) Rydberg levels with helium

M Hugon, P. R. Fournier, E. de Prunelé

Reports measurements of the cross sections for collisional quenching of highly excited rubidium nS (32<or=n<or=45) states by helium. A time-resolved selective field ionisation technique is used for this study. The experimental results are compared with the values calculated using an approximate scaling formula.
