Loss rates for high-$n$, $49\lesssim n\lesssim 150$, 5sns(${}^3$S${}_1$) Rydberg atoms excited in an ${}^{84}$Sr Bose-Einstein condensate

S. K. Kanungo, J. D. Whalen, Y. Lu +4

Measurements of the loss rates for strontium n${}^3$S${}_1$ Rydberg atoms excited in a dense BEC are presented for values of principal quantum number $n$ in the range $49\lesssim n…
