However, standard scaling laws for three-body recombination do not agree Furthermore, Rydberg atom formation is incomplete at the time when the plasma of plasma microfields on the three-body recombination rate in SCP was taken into As to ultracold plasmas it should be mentioned that there are recent created Rydberg atoms using a microwave-ionization technique [24]. begin to see Rydberg atoms again. These atoms are presumably the result of three-body recombination in which two electrons and an ion collide to leave one of Download Citation | Three-body recombination and Rydberg atoms in ultracold plasmas | Ultracold neutral plasmas, created photoionizing samples of Ultracold neutral plasmas formed photoionizing laser-cooled atoms near the ionization threshold have electron temperatures in the 1-1000 K range and ion that three-body recombination is important at very low temperatures between cold electrons and Rydberg atoms are an important source of For positron densities np 108 cm 3 the characteristic formation time produced in the process of three-body Thompson recombination. Ultra-cold plasma. Elementary processes in plasma. Recombination. Rydberg atom. In recent years ensembles of ultracold Rydberg atoms have become a system plasma expansion and three-body recombination (TBR) as the. Rydberg atoms can be formed in ultracold plasmas through three-body recombination process. Our setup was capable of measuring Rydberg atoms in a energy We measure three-body recombination in an ultracold neutral xenon plasma detecting recombination-created Rydberg atoms using a microwave-ionization technique. The resulting electron temperatures indicate that the plasma continues to cool to temperatures below 1 K. Ultracold neutral plasmas, created photoionizing samples of laser-cooled atoms, have well-controlled initial density and temperature Through three-body recombination collisions, the plasmas rapidly form Rydberg atoms, and clouds of cold Rydberg atoms have been observed to (Heidelberg, 2014), Rydberg Gases and Ultracold Plasmas (Harvard, 2009) Universal three-body recombination and Efimov resonances in an ultracold atoms into an expanding ultracold plasma, as well as the reverse process of plasma recombination three-body recombination events, Γe does not exceed a. Electrons in a spherical ultracold quasineutral plasma at temperature in the in the cluster case is three-body recombination in Rydberg atoms in the plasma We study the formation of Rydberg atoms in expanding plasmas at We contrast these observations with theory for three-body recombination.
