Abstract
The triple-resonance method for the detection of hyperfine transitions in heavy-alkali metals is studied theoretically. The evolution equati ons of the reduced fictitious tensorial components of the dressed-atom density matrix in an extended fictitious formalism are determined and solved for the stationary state. Illustrative numerical examples of d ressed-caesium are included. Previously unexplained triple-resonance e xperiments on rubidium and caesium are interpreted in detail.
