The authors report the observation of slow electron attachment to laser-produced superexcited states (SES)--states lying above the first ionization threshold--of NO using a new experimental technique developed for the measurement of electron attachment to short-lived (lifetime<10{sup {minus}8} s) excited species. The SES of NO were produced in multiphoton excitation processes via, (i) real and virtual states, and (ii) only virtual states. For slow electron (electron energy < 3 eV) attachment to the SES, they estimate electron attachment cross sections > 10{sup {minus}10} cm{sup 2} which are more than 8 orders of magnitude larger compared to that for the ground electronic state of NO.
