Polarization dependent photoionization cross-sections and radiative lifetimes of atomic states in Ba

C. -H. Li, D. Budker

The photoionization cross-sections of two even-parity excited states, $5d6d^3{D}_1$ and $6s7d^3{D}_2$, of atomic Ba at the ionization-laser wavelength of 556.6 nm were measured. We…
