| Abstract |
The alkali atoms are especially attractive for the investigation of multi-photon processes. The ionization potentials are small so that the energy of only a few visible photons is sufficient to ionize the atoms. Therefore, dye lasers can be used for the experiments and, in particular, make it possible to investigate, among other things, the wavelength dependence of the photoionization cross sections. On the other hand, the simplicity of the alkali energy level scheme is an advantage for the theoretical understanding and interpretation of the results. |

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
