Abstract In this paper, the studies of the dynamics of the high Rydberg states for n = 10 and n = 100 of hydrogen atom under the influence of an electric field will be reported. It will be shown from our calculated results that the two time constants of τ slow ≈ 1 – 10 μ s and τ fast ≈ 1 – 10 ns obseved in ZEKE experiments are obtained in the stray field condition, i.e., F = 10 – 100 mV/cm. To treat the ZEKE states of complex systems like many‐electron atoms, molecules, clusters etc. , the inverse Born‐Oppenheimer approximation can be used and it will be discussed.
