Abstract
We have measured the de Stark shift of the 6S-->17S transition in atomic ce sium using laser spectroscopy. The result of our experiment is 0.7262(8) Hz (V/cm)(-2). This value disagrees with a previous experiment but is within 0 .3% of the value predicted by ab initio calculations. This measurement remo ves the largest outstanding disagreement between experiment and ab initio t heory of low-lying states in atomic cesium. [S1050-2947(99)51101-3].
