Description:
Author(s): M. Traxler, R. E. Sapiro, C. Hempel, K. Lundquist, E. P. Power, and G. Raithel We study the guiding of 87 Rb 59 D 5/2 Rydberg atoms in a linear, high-gradient, two-wire magnetic guide. Time-delayed microwave ionization and ion detection are used to probe the Rydberg atom motion. We observe guiding of Rydberg atoms over a period of 5 ms following excitation. The decay time of the ... [Phys. Rev. A 86, 023414] Published Mon Aug 20, 2012
