Rydberg atoms in astrophysics

Elementary processes in astrophysical phenomena traditionally attract researchers
attention. At first this can be attributed to a group of chemi-ionization processes in Rydberg
atom collisions with ground state parent atoms. This processes might be studied as a
prototype of the elementary process of the radiation energy transformation into electrical
one. The studies of nonlinear mechanics have shown that so called regime of dynamic
chaos should be considered as typical, rather than exceptional situation in Rydberg atoms …
