Excitation of high angular momentum Rydberg states

We describe and analyse an RF-optical technique for exciting alkali atoms in an atomic beam to a specific high angular momentum Rydberg state. In the procedure the Rydberg states are dressed by an RF field and two optical photons are used to excite the dressed state that goes adiabatically into the desired Rydberg state as the RF field is turned off. We describe in detail the excitation of the ...

Atmospheric Loss during High Angular Momentum Giant

Introduction. During the end stage of planet formation , terrestrial planets are expected to experience a number of giant impacts. Understanding how much of the planet's atmosphere is lost to space during such collisions is vital to be able to determine the origin and evolution of planetary atmospheres. Recently, geo-chemical observations [1, 2] and high angular momentum models for the Moon-for...

Triaxial nuclear shapes at high angular momentum

Shape is a fundamental property of atomic nuclei. The spherical ground-state equilibrium shapes of closed-shell ‘‘magic’’ nuclei give way to deformed, usually prolate shapes in the midshell regions. Although a variety of shapes may be found for excited nuclear states, the propensity for axial symmetry appears to be pervasive. Yet, there is a lack of suitable observables that are able to indicat...
