Excited states of atoms and molecules may be studied in an              environment relatively free of collisions and other perturbations               by the use of fast beam techniques.  The work in this proposal                  makes use of a very sensitive method of detecting such states                   using resonant laser excitation to a very weakly bound state                    followed by Stark ionization.  Combined with this are very high                 resolution techniques of microwave spectroscopy.  Experiments are               proposed to carefully study the fine structure of high angular                  momentum Rydberg states of helium in order to test predictions of               relativistic atomic theory.  Similar Rydberg states of the H2                   molecule will also be studied in order to yield precise new                     information about the H2+ ion.  Another application will be a                   precise measurement of n=4 fine structure in atomic hydrogen                    which may lead to a new determination of the fine structure                     constant alpha.
