A procedure to systematically search for exceptional points is presented, and their existence is proven. The properties of the branch point singularities are discussed with effective low-dimensional matrix models, their relation with avoided level crossings is analyzed, and their influence on dipole matrix elements and the photoionization cross section is investigated. Furthermore, the rare case of a connection between three resonances almost forming a triple-degeneracy in the form of a cubic root branch point is discussed.12 pages, 9 figures, 1 tableChaotic DynamicsAtomic PhysicsExceptional points in the spectra of atoms in external fieldstext
