Abstract
Autoionization widths and energies of the lowest-lying Landau excited states of a hydrogen atom in strong magnetic fields are calculated for azimuthal quantum numbers , and . For fields ranging from below G, where these states lie close to the ionization threshold, up to 4.7 × G, the width of the lowest autoionizing state in each subspace is, to within the accuracy of the calculation, inversely proportional to the fourth root of the field strength. A comparison with radiative widths is made.
