Abstract
Planetary atoms1, which have two highly excited electrons, are expected to exhibit new phenomena because the interelectron interaction can be as great as the central force which binds either electron. Angular correlations are expected to be particularly significant as the available phase space increases and as the e-e interaction becomes more anisotropic. We have used a four photon excitation technique2 in conjunction with mass specific ionic detection to populate and identify msns, 1So states of barium having energies between 105,000cm-1 and 114,000cm-1.
