Collisional and electric-field ionization of laser-prepared Rydberg states in an ion trap mass spectrometer.

摘要

Rydberg states of rubidium are selectively generated by one and two photon laser excitation in a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. Collisional and electric-field ionization is investigated in trapping device. CCl(sub 4) is studied as a target for ionization of Rydberg states through electron attachment. (ERA citation 15:049872)
