On the formation and decay of a molecular ultracold plasma

Double-resonant photoexcitation of nitric oxide in a molecular beam creates a dense ensemble of 50f(2) Rydberg states, which evolves to form a plasma of free electrons trapped in the potential well of an NO+ space charge. The plasma travels at the velocity of the molecular beam and, on passing throu...
