Binding energies of high-L Rydberg states (L^3 7) of Th2+ with n=27-29 were studied using the Resonant Excitation Stark Ionization Spectroscopy (RESIS) method. The core of the Th2+ Rydberg ion is the Fr-like ion Th3+ whose ground state is a 5 2F5/2 level. The large core angular momentum results in a complex Rydberg fine structure pattern consisting of six levels for each value of L that is only partially resolved in the RESIS excitation spectrum. The pattern is further complicated, especially for the relatively low L levels, by strong non-adiabatic effects due to the low-lying 6d levels. Analysis of the observed RESIS spectra leads to determination of five properties of the Th3+ ion: its electric quadrupole moment, Q = 0.54(4), its adiabatic scalar and tensor dipole polarizabilities, ad,0 = 15.42(17) and ad,2 = -3.6(1.3), and the dipole matrix elements connecting the ground 52F5/2 level to the low lying 62D3/2 and 62D5/2 levels, |<52F5/2||D||62D3/2>| = 1.435(10) and |<52F5/2||D||62D5/2>| = 0.414(24). All are in atomic units. These are compared with theoretical calculations.

We present the uncertainty discussion of a recent experiment performed at the GSI storage ring ESR for the accurate energy measurement of the He-like uranium 1s2p3P2- 1s2s3S1 intra-shell transition. For this propose we used a Johann-type Bragg spectr ometer that enables to obtain a relative energy measurement between the He-like uranium transition, about 4.51 keV, and a calibration x-ray source. As reference, we used the Ka fluorescence lines of zinc and the Li-like uranium 1s22p2P3/2 - 1 s22s 2S1/2 intra-shell transition from fast ions stored in the ESR. A comparison of the two different references, i.e., stationary and moving x-ray source, and a discussion of the experimental uncertainties is presented.
A combined experimental and theoretical spectroscopic study of high-$n$, ${30 lesssim n lesssim 100}$, triplet $text{S}$ and $text{D}$ Rydberg states in $^{87}text{Sr}$ is presented. $^{87}text{Sr}$ has a large nuclear spin, ${I=9/2}$, and at high-$n $ the hyperfine interaction becomes comparable to, or even larger than, the fine structure and singlet-triplet splittings which poses a considerable challenge both for precision spectroscopy and for theory. For high-$n$ $text{S}$ states, the hyperfine shifts are evaluated non-perturbatively taking advantage of earlier spectroscopic data for the ${I=0}$ isotope $^{88}text{Sr}$, which results in good agreement with the present measurements. For the $text{D}$ states, this procedure is reversed by first extracting from the present $^{87}text{Sr}$ measurements the energies of the $^{3}text{D}_{1,2,3}$ states to be expected for isotopes without hyperfine structure ($^{88}text{Sr}$) which allows the determination of corrected quantum defects in the high-$n$ limit.
We present experimental results on the controlled de-excitation of Rydberg states in a cold gas of Rb atoms. The effect of the van der Waals interactions between the Rydberg atoms is clearly seen in the de-excitation spectrum and dynamics. Our observ ations are confirmed by numerical simulations. In particular, for off-resonant (facilitated) excitation we find that the de-excitation spectrum reflects the spatial arrangement of the atoms in the quasi one-dimensional geometry of our experiment. We discuss future applications of this technique and implications for detection and controlled dissipation schemes.
We observe trilobite-like states of ultracold 85Rb2 molecules, in which a ground-state atom is bound by the electronic wavefunction of its Rydberg-atom partner. We populate these states through the ultraviolet excitation of weakly-bound molecules, an d access a regime of trilobite-like states at low principal quantum numbers and with vibrational turning points around 35 Bohr radii. This demonstrates that, unlike previous studies that used free-to-bound transitions, trilobite-like states can also be excited through bound-to-bound transitions. This approach provides high excitation probabilities without requiring high-density samples, and affords the ability to control the excitation radius by selection of the initial-state vibrational level.
We present experiments on two-photon excitation of ${rm ^{87}}$Rb atoms to Rydberg states. For this purpose, two continuous-wave (cw)-laser systems for both 780 nm and 480 nm have been set up. These systems are optimized to a small linewidth (well be low 1 MHz) to get both an efficient excitation process and good spectroscopic resolution. To test the performance of our laser system, we investigated the Stark splitting of Rydberg states. For n=40 we were able to see the hyperfine levels splitting in the electrical field for different finestructure states. To show the ability of spatially selective excitation to Rydberg states, we excited rubidium atoms in an electrical field gradient and investigated both linewidths and lineshifts. Furthermore we were able to excite the atoms selectively from the two hyperfine ground states to Rydberg states. Finally, we investigated the Autler-Townes splitting of the 5S$_{1/2}$$to$5P$_{3/2}$ transition via a Rydberg state to determine the Rabi frequency of this excitation step.
