We identify them as originating from transitions between the fine-structure components of the metastable 3s3p P-3(0,1,2) level of Mg. We have calculated the cross sections for Raman and Rayleigh scattering from the metastable state. Comparison of the expected ratio of the satellites to the Rayleigh peak indicates the changing population fraction of the metastable states in the plume. %Z 376XF Times Cited:1 Cited References Count:21 %U &lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000261215600186 %+ 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 %G English</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Artn 055404, Doi 10.1103/Physreva.78.055404 %M ISI:000261215600186</style></notes><label><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACL</style></label></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Optical Thomson scatter from laser-ablated plumes</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Applied Physics LettersApplied Physics Letters</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">92</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">- %8 Jan 7 %!

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><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Optical Thomson scatter from a laser-ablated magnesium plume</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Applied PhysicsJournal of Applied Physics</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">106</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">- %8 Oct 15 %!

The evolution of the electron temperature and density at distances 2-5 mm from the target surface has been studied. We have observed that the electron density falls more rapidly than the atomic density and believe that this is a result of rapid dielectronic recombination. A comparison of the electron density profile and evolution with simple hydrodynamic modeling indicates that there is a strong absorption of the laser in the plasma vapor above the target, probably due to photoionization. We also conclude that an isothermal model of expansion better fits the data than an isentropic expansion model. Finally, we compared data obtained from Thomson scatter with those obtained by emission spectroscopy under similar conditions. The two sets of data have differences but are broadly consistent.
