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 …

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 …

Spontaneous avalanche to plasma begins in the core of an ellipsoidal Rydberg gas of nitric
oxide. Ambipolar expansion of NOs to reach an imaging detector. The initial density of …

We argue that the quenched ultracold plasma presents an experimental platform for
studying the quantum many-body physics of disordered systems in the long-time and finite …

We present a study of the expansion of an ultracold neutral plasma (UCNP) with an initial
density distribution that decays exponentially in space, created by photoionizing atoms …

Spontaneous avalanche to plasma splits the core of an ellipsoidal Rydberg gas of nitric
oxide. Ambipolar expansion first quenches the electron temperature of this core plasma …

This paper offers a toolbox for characterizing the initial conditions and predicting the
evolution of the ultracold plasma that forms after resonant laser preparation of a Rydberg …

Not long after metastable xenon was photoionized in a magneto-optical trap, groups in
Europe and North America found that similar states of ionized gas evolved spontaneously …

Double-resonant transitions excite nitric oxide in a seeded supersonic molecular beam,
yielding a state-selected Rydberg gas that evolves to form an ultracold plasma. This plasma …

Prethermalization occurs as an important phase in the dynamics of many-body systems
when strong coupling drives a quasi-equilibrium in a subspace separated from the …
