It is shown that the recent production [T C Killian et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 83 4776 (1999)] of an ultracold laser plasma (N{sub e} {approx} 2 x 10{sup 9} cm{sup -3}, T{sub e} {approx} 0.1 K, T{sub i} {approx} 10 {mu}K) can be considered as the first experimental demonstration of the metastable state of a supercooled plasma which we predicted theoretically. Our theory provides an explanation for the moderation of three-body recombination observed in the above-cited paper. We present the calculations that simulate the conditions of the ultracold-plasma experiments. (interaction of laser radiation with matter. laser plasma)
