Observation of Radially Localized Atomic Electron Wave Packets

Abstract

We have observed a radially localized electron wave packet in a direct pump-probe experiment with 6-ps laser pulses. Use is made of the fact that both excitation and ionization take place predominantly close to the atomic core. A wave packet is created by coherently exciting Rydberg states of rubidium atoms around $n=41$ with a pump pulse, and detected through ionization with a delayed probe pulse. The wave packet is observed to return to the core twice before the spreading becomes too large.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
