Photoassociative Spectroscopy of Sr

J. C. Hill, W. Huie, P. Lunia +4

We demonstrate photoassociation (PA) of ultracold fermionic Sr atoms. The binding energies of a series of molecular states on the SP mol…

Emergence of Kinetic Behavior in Streaming Ultracold Neutral Plasmas

P. McQuillen, J. Castro, S. Bradshaw +1

We create streaming ultracold neutral plasmas by tailoring the photoionizing laser beam that creates the plasma. By varying the electron temperature, we control the relative veloci…

Rabi Oscillations between Atomic and Molecular Condensates Driven with Coherent One-Color Photoassociation

Mi Yan, B. J. DeSalvo, Ying Huang +2

We demonstrate coherent one-color photoassociation of a Bose-Einstein condensate, which results in Rabi oscillations between atomic and molecular condensates. We attain atom-molecu…

Strongly Coupled Plasmas via Rydberg-Blockade of Cold Atoms

G. Bannasch, T. C. Killian, T. Pohl

We propose and analyze a new scheme to produce ultracold neutral plasmas deep in the strongly coupled regime. The method exploits the interaction blockade between cold atoms excite…

Velocity Relaxation in a Strongly Coupled Plasma

G. Bannasch, J. Castro, P. McQuillen +2

Collisional relaxation of Coulomb systems is studied in the strongly coupled regime. We use an optical pump-probe approach to manipulate and monitor the dynamics of ions in an ultr…

The role of collisions and strong coupling in ultracold plasmas

J. Castro, P. McQuillen, H. Gao +1

Ultracold plasmas are formed by photo-exciting clouds of cold atoms and molecules near the ionization threshold. They explore a new region of plasma physics and display effects of…
