Trap-loss spectroscopy of Rydberg states in ytterbium

Christian Halter, Alexander Miethke, Christian Sillus +2

We present an experimental study of the Rydberg ${}^1{S}_0$- and ${}^1{P}_1$- series of ytterbium for principal quantum numbers in the range of $n=70$ to $90$. The study is performed using…
