Reply to “Comment on ‘Measurement of the lifetimes of S and D states below n = 31 using cold Rydberg gas”’

In response to the preceding Comment, we present important experimental information on our S, P, and D Rydberg lifetime measurements for {sup 85}Rb using a sample of cold Rydberg atoms. We analyze and discuss the implications of blackbody radiation transfer on our results. We also discuss the limita...

Zusammenfassung:In response to the preceding Comment, we present important experimental information on our S, P, and D Rydberg lifetime measurements for {sup 85}Rb using a sample of cold Rydberg atoms. We analyze and discuss the implications of blackbody radiation transfer on our results. We also discuss the limitation of the theory compared with our results.
