©2016 American Physical Society. We have measured the ionization fields for Na Rydberg states of n≥26 by a 79-GHz microwave field. At low n, where the microwave frequency ω is one-third the classical Kepler frequency ωK, which is equal to the 1/n3 spacing between n states, the ionization field is ≈1...
