Abstract
High-resolution spectroscopy of atomic particles requires the eliminations of at least three types of spectral line broadening: Doppler broadening, collision broadening, and transit time broadening, which results from a limited time duration of the interaction of the particles with the electromagnetic field. These sources of line broadening contribute in various proportions depending on the frequency range of the radiation and on the experimental geometric arrangement of particles and waves in a particular interaction scheme. When radio-frequency radiation and microwaves interact with atomic beams, transit-time broadening — here the principal broadening mechanism — has been successfully circumvented, as early as in the fortieth, by the application of two widely separated interaction regions and the corresponding generation of “Ramsey fringes”.|1| On the other hand, microwave spectroscopy of the ground state hyperfine transitions of 3He+ spatially confined in a suitable electromagnetic field, a so-called “trap”, resulted 1965 in the spectral resolution of 1 in 109 by Fortson, Major, and Dehmelt at the University of Seattle |2|. Even a resolution of 2 parts in 1010 was demonstrated 1973 by Major and Werth |3| with a ground state hyperfine transition of trapped 199Hg+ ions.
