Need for high resolution in VUV Rydberg state spectroscopy

The necessity for high energy resolution (resolving powers > 100,000) in VUV spectroscopic determinations of atomic and molecular Rydberg electronic structures is emphasized. Examples include spectral observations of Rydberg levels in Ge I near the 4p(2)P( degrees )((1/2)) limit, in Sr I near the...

Summary:The necessity for high energy resolution (resolving powers > 100,000) in VUV spectroscopic determinations of atomic and molecular Rydberg electronic structures is emphasized. Examples include spectral observations of Rydberg levels in Ge I near the 4p(2)P( degrees )((1/2)) limit, in Sr I near the 4d(2)D(3/2) limit, and in the diatomic hydrogen halides (especially HI) below the X(2)II(3/2) limit.
