Photoionization of $nS$ and $nD$ Rydberg atoms of Rb and Cs from the near-infrared to the ultraviolet spectral region

Michael A. Viray, Eric Paradis, Georg Raithel

We present calculations of the photoionization (PI) cross sections of rubidium and cesium Rydberg atoms for light with wavelengths ranging from the infrared to the ultraviolet, usi…
