摘要：

Ultracold neutral plasmas provide a new and valuable system in which to study fundamental plasma physics and the effects of strong coupling. In this paper, we provide a brief overview of the field of ultracold neutral plasmas. Then we describe new results from the use of fluorescence from a sheet of laser light as a probe of ion equilibration and expansion dynamics in these systems. This new probe opens many possibilities for studying thermal transport and equilibration in a strongly coupled plasma.
