Thanks for that explanation. The transitions I am interested to target are (n=35 → n’=34) (n=32 → n’=31) (n=29 → n’=29). I would try to look for measurements for those transitions. Probably there are numerical simulations to calculate this? Would be interested if you know of such work.

Hi, Thank you for the detailed reply and the reference for atomic oxygen this will be useful. You got it right!:) I do work for the KATRIN experiment on a background reduction technique using sub-THz radiation to induce transitions in Rydberg atoms to de-excite them. Yes, 210-Pb --> 210 Po and...

They are ionized by the thermal black body radiation at room temperature of T ≈ 300 K

I am working with Rydberg Oxygen atoms. The atoms I am working with are produced by sputtering due to alpha recoil from radioactive decay of 210Pb and are created with mean energies fo 12 eV.

Hi all, My exposure to atomic physics is limited and hence could use some expert opinion on a basic question. From my knowledge, Rydberg atoms are assumed to be hydrogen-like and hence the Rydberg formula to calculate the transition frequency is generally used. But not all atoms are the same...

Hello everyone, Always followed physics forum from my high school to read about solutions and interesting discussions on fundamental physics questions. Now in my PhD I am ever more daunted by physics problems in an intriguing way and would once again have fruitful discussions or follow some...
