Abstract
In recent years the field of Rydberg spectroscopy and dynamics has rapidly expanded in a variety of directions. This talk presents an overview of the following aspects of the field: \begin{enumerate} \item[$\square$] The interconversion of energy between nuclear and electronic degrees of freedom: rovibronic interactions, preionization and predissociation. \item[$\square$] Rydberg states of polyatomic molecules. \item[$\square$] High orbital angular momentum states and their role in ZEKE (zero kinetic energy electron) spectroscopy. \item[$\square$] Rydberg states of dipolar systems. \item[$\square$] Rydberg molecules. \item[$\square$] The role of Rydberg states in collisional processos. \end{enumerate} The usefulness of MQDT (multichannel quantum defect theory) for the analysis of Rydberg states and dynamics will be stressed.
