Coupled rate-equation hydrodynamic simulation of a Rydberg gas Gaussian ellipsoid: Classical avalanche and evolution to molecular plasma
Rafael Haenel, Edward Grant
An ellipsoidal volume of Rydberg molecules, entrained in a supersonic molecular beam, evolves on a nanosecond timescale to form a strongly coupled ultracold plasma. We present coup…

Control of molecular ultracold plasma relaxation dynamics by mm-wave Rydberg-Rydberg transitions
Fernanda Banic Viana Martins, James S. Keller, Edward R. Grant
Resonant mm-wave fields drive transitions in a state-selected Rydberg gas of NO. This transformation produces a clear signature in t…
