Multipole blackbody radiation shift of Rydberg energy levels [dataset] Open Access

This dataset supports the findings outlined in the article entitled "Multipole blackbody radiation shift of Rydberg energy levels". Abstract of this article: "We study the role of retardation in the energy shift of Rydberg states induced by thermal radiation, focusing on the case of temperatures higher than those for which the electric-dipole approximation is expected to apply. As anticipated by Farley and Wing [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 23}, 2397 (1981)], retardation needs to be taken into account in calculations of this energy shift around and above the temperature $\alpha\, mc^2/(3k_{\rm B}\,n^2)$, where $n$ is the principal quantum number of the state considered, $m$ is the mass of the electron and $k_{\rm B}$ is Boltzmann constant --- e.g., around and above 1440~K for $n = 100$. The corresponding non-dipole shift dominates the electric-dipole shift at about 2.5 times that characteristic temperature. Thermal shifts arising from retardation and from the electric-quadrupole interaction are of the same order of magnitude as the diamagnetic thermal shift and would thus need to be taken into account in the circumstances where the latter is relevant."
