Scientific paper

An ultra-cold molecular plasma with extraordinarily long lifetime (~0.5 ms) is generated under strong collisional cooling conditions in the expansion region of a seeded supersonic jet expansion close to the nozzle. A resonant two-photon one-color laser process excites para-difluorobenzene molecules into the high-n Rydberg threshold region. Disorder heating during plasma formation is quenched by the high collision rate in the expansion, which keeps the ions at the translational jet temperature of 0.2K-0.7K. The Coulomb coupling parameter \Gammai for the ions is expected to be ca. 230-820.
