Abstract
We present experimental results of two-color photoassociative ionizati on (TCPAI) spectroscopy in a magneto-optical trap. A probe light beam traces out the frequency (and intensity) dependence of TCPAI. By manip ulating the intensities of the trap and repumper lasers we investigate the participation of different hyperfine ground-state levels and demo nstrate the conditions under which molecular bound states figure in th e collision intermediate.
