Abstract

We describe new techniques involving trapped atoms as targets for measurements of electron-impact ionization cross sections out of an excited level. By directly detecting the ions formed by electron collisions, we have obtained the first experimental ionization cross sections out of the 52P excited level in rubidium at energies from 40 to 300 eV.
