Highly excited atomic states


Joint Institute for High Temperatures, Russian Academy of Sciences, ul. Izhorskaya 13, Bldg. 2, Moscow, 125412, Russian Federation

The properties of highly excited atoms are examined. Methods for producing and detecting such atoms are analyzed. Various processes that involve atoms in Rydberg states are described, including transitions between high-lying excited states induced by collisions with electrons and atoms, quenching by electrons and atoms, ionization by collisions with electrons, atoms, and molecules, charge exchange with ions, and so on.
