Abstract

The conditions for a detailed experimental investigation of Dicke superradiance in the microwave region are presented. It is proposed to observe superradiant pulses from inverted populations in the Zeeman levels of atomic hydrogen in an external magnetic field. The small sample volume would be housed in a low- Q microwave cavity. Using a well-known self-consistency argument, the superradiant decay rates, pulse delay times, and average power per pulse as a function of the number density are estimated for such a system. A particular experimental arrangement is presented and discussed. The essential differences and main advantages of our proposed method over work recently reported in the literature are cited and discussed.
