Abstract

We have measured the relative population in the two m_j states of barium 6p_1/2 ions produced by the autoionization of (6p_3/2nd)_J=MJ=3 states by detecting the helicity of the emitted fluorescence. These populations can be related to the relative branching ratio into the 6p_1/2εd_5/2 and 6p_1/2εg_7/2 continuum channels. Rydberg states with n=16-23 have similar branching ratios, producing approximately six times as much 6p_1/2εd_5/2 population as 6p_1/2εg_7/2 population.
