This process gives rise to novel quantum phenomena distinct from conventional photoionization processes. Our results show that vortex photons carrying very small total angular momentum (typically zero or minus one) exhibit sensitivity to the magnetic moments of Rydberg atoms, especially those in circular Rydberg states, thereby establishing them as a possible spectroscopic probe of Rydberg magnetism. It is further shown that the initial photon energy plays a crucial role in obtaining significant experimental results, as a strong dichroism effect requires larger initial photon energy.
