Quantum mechanical calculation of Rydberg-Rydberg autoionization rates

We present quantum mechanical calculations of autoionization rates for two Rubidium Rydberg atoms with weakly overlapping electron clouds. We neglect exchange effects and consider tensor products of independent atom states forming an approximate basis of the two-electron state space. We consider lar...
