7. Quenching of the 2S state can be achieved by mixing the 2S and the 2P state. This can be done, e.g., by microwave radiation around 1.04 GHz (the spacing between the two levels) or by a static electric field of a few tenths of volts; For details, see W.E. Lamb and R.C. Retherford, Phys. Rev. 81, 222 (1951); F. Biraben, J.C. Garreau, L. Julien, and M. Allegrini, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 61, 1468 (1990).
