Abstract
Magnetically-tunable Feshbach resonances are an indispensable tool for experiments with atomic quantum gases. We report on twenty thus far unpublishedi Feshbach resonances and eleven further probable Feshbach resonances in spin mixtures of ultracold fermionic 40K with temperatures well below 100 nK. In particular, we locate a broad resonance at B = 389.6 G with a magnetic width of 26.4 G. Here 1 G = 10-4 T. Furthermore, by exciting low-energy spin waves, we demonstrate a novel means to precisely determine the zero crossing of the scattering length for this broad Feshbach resonance. Our findings allow for further tunability in experiments with ultracold 40K quantum gases.
