Measurements of blackbody radiation-induced transition rates between high-lying S, P and D Rydberg levels
Matteo Archimi, Matteo Ceccanti, Marco Distefano +7
We report experimental measurements of the rates of blackbody radiation-induced transitions between high-lying (n>60) S, P and D Rydberg levels of rubidium atoms in a magneto-optic…
De-excitation spectroscopy of strongly interacting Rydberg gases
C. Simonelli, M. Archimi, L. Asteria +5
We present experimental results on the controlled de-excitation of Rydberg states in a cold gas of Rb atoms. The effect of the van der Waals interactions between the Rydberg atoms…
Seeded excitation avalanches in off-resonantly driven Rydberg gases
Cristiano Simonelli, Maria Martinez Valado, Guido Masella +4
We report an experimental investigation of the facilitated excitation dynamics in off-resonantly driven Rydberg gases by separating the initial off-resonant excitation phase from t…
Van der Waals explosion of cold Rydberg clusters
R. Faoro, C. Simonelli, M. Archimi +6
We report on the direct measurement in real space of the effect of the van der Waals forces between individual Rydberg atoms on their external degrees of freedom. Clusters of Rydbe…
