Abstract
A selective detection scheme for atoms in the metastable 2s state of hydrogen that provides the high spatial resolution (0.1 cm) necessary for time‐of‐flight atomic‐beam studies is described. The scheme utilizes the Lyman α photon emitted when the metastable is de‐excited in an electric field via the Stark effect. Details of construction and operation are discussed.Keywords
