Observation of two-photon potential scattering of Rydberg sodium atoms by a microwave field
Beterov I. M. , Ryabtsev I. I.
Scattering of Rydberg sodium atoms by a gradient potential of a microwave field has been observed experimentally for the first time. The field was at resonance with a two-photon transition between the 36P and 37P Rydberg states.
