Abstract
In the study of Yb atomic Rydberg states, new members of 6sns S-1(0) s eries for n = 23, 24, 66-116 and 6snd 1D2 series for n = 81-114 were o bserved. The data are in excellent agreement with the MQDT analysing r esults. The autoionizing Rydberg series 6p1/2n's (1/2, 1/2)I-degree we re investigated by three-step laser excitation. The ICE model was used to explain the experimental spectrum, and it has been proved to be su itable for describing the excitation of the autoionizing Rydberg state s with a weakly-excited core.
