This bothers me. As I said before, this looks like theoretical speculation which is not backed up with either rigorous experiments or theory equations. They talk about "'excited' hydrogen atoms in a Rydberg state." How do they know these exist? How did they detect and measure this state (partial ionization)? How do they know the electron's trajectory becomes elliptic, as stated a few pages down? Do they have instruments to do this? Did they farm out the study to some other lab? What is the scientific basis for the claims made in this paper? - Jed
