Abstract
We have observed recombination into a large range of Rydberg levels in an ultracold plasma. The plasma is created by two-photon ionization of laser-trapped and -cooled metastable xenon atoms.1 By changing the intensity and detuning of the ionizing laser pulse, the initial temperature and density of the plasma can be varied.
