Light Scattering Spectroscopy: A New Method for Precise Determination of Atomic Matrix Elements

Quantum Physics 2015-08-12 v1 Atomic Physics

Abstract

A new approach to precise determination of atomic matrix elements is described whereby measurement of spectral locations of zeros in the Rayleigh scattering cross-section allows frequency-domain extraction of matrix elements in terms of a fiducial quantity. Illustrations are made for scattering off the ground state in Li and Cs.
