The formation of ${\mathrm{Na}}^{+}$ and ${\mathrm{Na}}_{2}^{+}$ in sodium vapor (\ensuremath{\sim} ${10}^{11}$ - ${10}^{13}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$) containing laser-selected Rydberg atoms $(15<~n<~35)$ has been studied. At low atom densities photoionization, collisional ionization, and associative ionization dominate, but more-complicated mechanisms contribute to the ion yield at higher densities.The formation of ${\mathrm{Na}}^{+}$ and ${\mathrm{Na}}_{2}^{+}$ in sodium vapor (\ensuremath{\sim}${10}^{11}$-${10}^{13}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$) containing laser-selected Rydberg atoms $(15<~n<~35)$ has been studied.
