Ultracold neutral plasmas (UNPs) present a well-defined framework in which to study many-body Coulomb systems in a regime of strong coupling, a condition that occurs when the average potential energy of particle-particle interactions exceeds the average kinetic energy. In our experiment, we create a UNP of NO ions and electrons, which has a well defined initial phase-space density distribution. On the basis of classical plasma theory, one can model the evolution of this system. In my talk, I will compare our theoretical model with experimental observation.
