Lorentzian Line Crossings in Forward-Scattered Light

Lorentzian Line Crossings in Forward-Scattered Light The zero-field line crossing of the mercury isotope Hg 204 was studied in forward-scattered light, with the scattering atoms both in a foreign gas and in vacuum. With sufficient foreign-gas pressure, a Lorentzian shape was obtained, in contrast to the Gaussian shape found for atoms in vacuum. An approximate theoretical treatment gives a field dependence of the forward-scattered intensity in satisfactory agreement with the measurements. Line crossings of Zeeman components of different isotopes, contained in separate cells, are also discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Physical Review A American Physical Society (APS)

Abstract

The zero-field line crossing of the mercury isotope Hg 204 was studied in forward-scattered light, with the scattering atoms both in a foreign gas and in vacuum. With sufficient foreign-gas pressure, a Lorentzian shape was obtained, in contrast to the Gaussian shape found for atoms in vacuum. An approximate theoretical treatment gives a field dependence of the forward-scattered intensity in satisfactory agreement with the measurements. Line crossings of Zeeman components of different isotopes, contained in separate cells, are also discussed.
