Pulsed excitation of Rydberg-atom-pair states in an ultracold Cs gas

Heiner Saßmannshausen, Frédéric Merkt, Johannes Deiglmayr

Pulsed laser excitation of a dense ultracold Cs vapor has been used to study the pairwise interactions between Cs atoms excited to $n$p${}_{3/2}$ Rydberg states of principal quantum…
