Semiclassical method for calculating the kinetics of radiative transitions in an atom
An analytic method is developed for calculating the two-dimensional populations (the two dimensions are η and /) of highly excited atomic states. All possible radiative cascades are taken into account. The solutions reveal scaling laws for the populations and agree well with numerical quantum-mechanical calculations.
