Ultracold neutral plasmas formed by photoionizing laser-cooled atoms near the ionization
threshold have electron temperatures in the 1–1000K range and ion temperatures from tens …

By photoionizing samples of laser-cooled atoms with laser light tuned just above the
ionization limit, plasmas can be created with electron and ion temperatures below 10 K …

Applying a radio-frequency electric field to an expanding ultracold neutral plasma leads to
the observation of as many as six peaks in the emission of electrons from the plasma. These …

We report the sudden and spontaneous evolution of an initially correlated gas of repulsively
interacting Rydberg atoms to an ultracold plasma. Under continuous laser coupling we …

In this paper, we present ideas that were part of the miniconference on the crossover
between High Energy Density Plasmas (HEDP) and Ultracold Neutral Plasmas (UNPs) at …

Clouds of ultracold strontium 5 s 48 s 1 S 0 or 5 s 47 d 1 D 2 Rydberg atoms are created by
two-photon excitation of laser-cooled 5 s 2 1 S 0 atoms. The spontaneous evolution of the …

Dense samples of cold Rydberg atoms have previously been observed to spontaneously
evolve to a plasma, despite the fact that each atom may be bound by as much as 100 cm− 1 …

A kinetic approach for the evolution of ultracold neutral plasmas including interionic
correlations and the treatment of ionization/excitation and recombination/deexcitation by rate …

We present long-time simulations of expanding ultracold neutral plasmas, including a full
treatment of the strongly coupled ion dynamics. Thereby, the relaxation of the expanding …

In recent experiments ultracold plasmas were produced by photoionizing small clouds of
laser cooled atoms. This paper presents the results of molecular dynamic simulations for the …
