Dissociative recombination and the decay of a molecular ultracold plasma
Double-resonant photoexcitation of nitric oxide in a molecular beam creates a dense ensemble of 51f(2) Rydberg states, which evolves to form a plasma of free electrons trapped in the potential well of an NO+ spacecharge. The plasma travels at the velocity of the molecular beam, and, on passing throu...
