Autoionization level shifts

The use of autoionizing Rydberg levels converging to excited states of the ion to determine ionization potentials has been discussed above. If autoionization resonances as narrow as those found in gadolinium exist in the actinides, it should be possible to determine the isotope shifts and hfs of such features. (isotope shifts for actinides range up to 0.4 cm l per mass unit and odd atomic number actinides exhibit hfs with total widths of 4 to 6 cm l and hfs component spacing of 0.2 cm l or more for some transitions). [Pg.408]

A common experimental arrangement for the study of molecular Rydberg states is depicted in Fig. 5.31. The output beams of two pulsed narrow-band dye lasers, pumped by the same excimer laser, are superimposed and cross the molecular beam perpendicularly. The fluorescence emitted from the intermediate level (u, J ) or from the Rydberg levels (u, 7 ) can be monitored by a photomultiplier. The ions produced by autoionization (or for levels slightly below IP by field ionization) are extracted by an electric field and are accelerated onto an ion multiplier or channel plate. This allows the detection of single ions. In order to avoid electric Stark shifts of the Rydberg levels during their excitation, the extraction field is switched on only after the end of the laser pulse. Experimental details and more infor-... [Pg.254]
