Phys. Rev. A 56, 3623–3625 (1997)Radiative decay of Trojan wave packetsReceived 16 June 1997; published in the issue dated November 1997 We calculate the decay rates due to spontaneous emission for electronic states described by Trojan wave packets. The spontaneous decay rate for a typical Trojan state (n=60) is six orders of magnitude smaller than the ionization rate and it is about one order of magnitude smaller than the rate for the corresponding ordinary circular Rydberg state. © 1997 The American Physical Society URL:
