Abstract
We study the level shifts and depopulation of Rydberg states, confined between two parallel metallic plates, due to blackbody radiation. Aft er the derivation of the formal equations for the level shift and the depopulation, we present, as an example, specific calculations for the Rb 24s state as a function of plate distance L at three different tem peratures 10, 85, and 205 K.
