Radiative and collisional processes in translationally cold samples of hydrogen Rydberg atoms studied in an electrostatic trap

Christian Seiler, Josef A. Agner, Pierre Pillet +1

Supersonic beams of hydrogen atoms, prepared selectively in Rydberg-Stark states of principal quantum number $n$ in the range between 25 and 35, have been deflected by 90${}^{\circ }$,…
