Radio-frequency spectroscopy of optically oriented atoms

2 Radio-frequency spectroscopy of optically oriented atoms 

The radio-frequency transitions observed provide valuable information about the interaction between the spin-oriented atoms and their surroundings, that is, about collisions with one another, with the buffer-gas atoms, and with the container walls. 

1 Slow spin relaxation of optically polarized atoms 

Investigation of the parameters of very narrow radio-frequency resonances of oriented atoms has opened up the possibihty of precision measurement of the 

By using polarized resonant radiation, the atoms are first oriented so as to
