Abstract

We observe the Stark effect in hydrogen by photoionizing a relativistic hydrogen beam prepared by photodetachment of the 800-MeV H/sup -/ beam at the Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility. Photoexcitation of H/sup 0/ is performed in a magnetic field (up to 6.5 kG) that appears in the atomic frame as an electric field up to 3 MV/cm. Resonances observed with an angle Doppler-tuned laser beam match calculated energies. At sufficiently high field, near the Stark-Coulomb potential-barrier peak, we observe shape resonances with an apparent elevation of the baseline on the high-energy side.
