The electron temperature was found to decay with the expected T-e proportional to t(-1) dependence. However, we have found the electron density to have a time dependence n(e)proportional to t(-4.95) which can be explained by strong recombination processes. We also observed atomic Raman satellites originating from transitions between the different angular momentum levels of the metastable P-3(0) term in Mg I. %Z 250FA Times Cited:2 Cited References Count:32 %U &lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000252284200033 %+ Delserieys, A Queens Univ Belfast, Sch Math &amp; Phys, Belfast BT7 1NN, Antrim, North Ireland Queens Univ Belfast, Sch Math &amp; Phys, Belfast BT7 1NN, Antrim, North Ireland Queens Univ Belfast, Sch Math &amp; Phys, Belfast BT7 1NN, Antrim, North Ireland Dublin City Univ, Natl Ctr Plasma Sci &amp; Technol, Dublin 9, Ireland %G English</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Artn 011502, Doi 10.1063/1.2830705 %M ISI:000252284200033</style></notes><label><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACL</style></label></record></records></xml>
