Abstract

Abstract The absorption coefficients of the statistical wings of the Cs principal series lines 6 2S1/2 - n 2P3/2 (6 ≦ n ≦ 10) and 6 2S1/2 - n 2P1/2 (6 ≦ n ≦ 9) perturbed by Xe have been measured quantitatively The results are compared with quasistatic line wings calculated from the interatomic Cs -Xe potentials of Baylis 1 and Pascale and Vandeplanque 2. In the far wings of the higher lines of the series indications of many-body interaction were found. Furthermore the behaviour of the shift of all principal series lines up to the 23rd member was investigated in the density region between 1.63 X 1018 and 1.9 X 1019 Xe atoms per cm-3.
