Abstract

We describe the use of time-resolved inner-electron ionization as a method of detecting the time evolution of Rydberg wave packets. The method is sufficiently sensitive that it can be used to monitor wave packets for extended times, and its Fourier transform provides a cross correlation between constituent eigenstates, allowing the phases of the constituent eigenstates at the core to be retrieved. These phases, and the easily determined amplitudes of the constituent eigenstates, can be used to construct the wave function of the wave packet.
