Abstract
The subject of the investigation are single atoms, for instance isolated in a Paul trap, which are driven by laser fields while their resonance radiation is measured by photon counters. For a rather wide class of experimental setups or theoretical models, a method is developed to determine the statistics of the photons observed. In contrast to other approaches it avoids referring to 'continuous measurements' or similar concepts, but tries to stay as far as possible within the framework of ordinary quantum mechanics. The method is illustrated by application to simple models.
