Abstract
We report polarizability measurements of atomic cesium’s state. The scalar and tensor polarizabilities are determined from hyperfine-resolved Stark-shift measurements using two-photon laser-induced-fluorescence spectroscopy of an effusive beam. The resulting values are and . In addition, our measurements yield the hyperfine coupling constants MHz and MHz, which agree with previous measurements. We also present relativistic all-order calculations of both scalar and tensor polarizabilities. The resulting theoretical values, and , are in agreement with the present experimental results.
