Spectroscopic study and multichannel quantum defect theory analysis of the Stark effect in Rydberg states of neon

An experimental and theoretical investigation of the Stark effect in bound and autoionizing Rydberg states of 20Ne is presented. A narrow-band VUV laser source was used to excite Rydberg states with n = 23-26 in a resonance-enhanced two-photon excitation sequence via either the 3s[3/2] 1 or the 3s′[...
