Mean-field models for correlated Rydberg gases — •Kilian Heeg and Jörg Evers — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Heidelberg, Germany

Mean field models are discussed for the description of clouds of Rydberg atoms. We are in particular interested in situations in which n-body correlations with n>2 are of importance, such as in recent experiments on coherent population trapping in Rydberg atoms. We compare different approaches with each other, with experimental data, and with more demanding numerical models, with the aim of estimating the validity range.
