We report polarizability measurements of atomic cesium's 6d 3/2 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 α 0 = −5310(180)a 3 0 and α 2 = 8650(260)a 3 0 . In addition, our measurements yield the hyperfine coupling constants A = 16.36(15) MHz and B = −0.7(8) MHz, which agree with previous measurements. We also present relativistic all-order calculations of both scalar and tensor polarizabilities. The resulting theoretical values, α 0 = −5686(121)a 3 0 and α 2 = 8750(82)a 3 0 , are in agreement with the present experimental results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
