- Abstract
A kinetic model is developed to describe ultracold nonideal Rydberg plasmas, which allows all stages of the generation and decay of such a plasma to be sequentially traced. The plasma kinetics is considered on the basis of available experimental data corresponding to a nonideality parameter of γ ∼ 1. The results of theoretical analysis are in good agreement with experiment. Calculations show evidence of a significantly decreased recombination rate and, hence, of the possible formation of a metastable structure in the plasma under consideration. The distribution of the number of excited atoms is determined for the plasma with Ne = Ni = 7 × 105 and Ee = 9 K. The observed behavior of the number and density of particles as functions of the time and principal quantum number is explained. It is suggested that the distribution of excited atoms for the given parameters has a maximum for the state with k = 25. © 2004 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”.
