Excitation of high orbital angular momentum Rydberg states with Laguerre-Gauss beams
J. D. Rodrigues, L. G. Marcassa, J. T. Mendonça
We consider the excitation of Rydberg states through photons carrying an intrinsic orbital angular momentum degree of freedom. Laguerre-Gauss modes, with a helical wave-front struc…

Bump-on-tail instability of twisted excitations in rotating cold atomic clouds
J. D. Rodrigues, H. Terças, J. T. Mendonça
We develop a kinetic theory for twisted density waves (phonons), carrying a finite amount of orbital angular momentum, in large magneto optical traps, where the collective processe…
