Abstract
Reported is the production of a continuous beam of circular state rubidium Rydberg atoms of principal quantum numbers n around n=67. The circular states are populated using crossed electric and magnetic fields. They are detected continuously by a novel field ionization scheme. The circular character of the atoms is derived from the field ionization patterns, and from microwave spectra of the transitions to circular states with lower n. The circular Rydberg atoms with very large n shall be used for studies of microwave ionization and for one-atom maser experiments.
