Abstract
In this experiment, pulsed atomic beams produced in vacuum by laser induced ablation from lithium target are analyzed by laser-induced fluorescsence (LIF). As an application of this atomic beam production technique, the l-mixing processes induced in the n = 9, 10 Li Rydberg states by collisions with CO2 molecules have been investigated.
