Intensity Effects in Ultracold Photoassociation Line Shapes

December 1, 2002
Author(s)
A Simoni, Paul S. Julienne, Eite Tiesinga, Carl J. Williams
We derive ultracold atom-atom photoassociation line shapes valid for intense light fields and investigate laser power effects in sodium and rubidium photoassociation to the purely long range 0g- symmetry state. We consider intensities up to few hundreds W

Predissociations in the 0 u + and 1 g States of K 2

October 1, 2002
Author(s)
T Bergeman, Paul S. Julienne, Carl J. Williams, Eite Tiesinga, M R. Manaa, H Wang, P L. Gould, W C. Stwalley
Recently Wang, Gould and Stwalley showed by exciting atomic fragments that predissociation occurs in the Ig and O + u states of K2. In this study, we supplement the interpretation given in the original report with a more detaileddiscussion. The

Threshold Resonance Spectroscopy: A Key to Cold Collision Physics

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Paul S. Julienne
Threshold scattering resonances play a crucial role in cold collision physics and cold molecule formation from cold atoms. We describe several examples involving magnetic Feshbach spectroscopy of Cs atoms, photoassociation of Na atoms in a Bose-Einstein

Designing Neutral-Atom Nanotraps With Integrated Optical Waveguides

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
J P. Burke, S G. Chu, Garnett W. Bryant, Carl J. Williams, Paul S. Julienne
Integrated optical structures offer the intriguing potential of compact, reproducible waveguide arrays, rings, Y-junctions, etc, that could be used to design evanescent field traps to transport, store, and interact atoms in networks as complicated as any

Quantum Effects on Curve Crossing in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
V Yurovsky, A Ben-Reuven, Paul S. Julienne
Formation of Atomic Pairs by dissociation of a molecular condensate or by inelastic collisions in an atomic condensate due to time-dependent curve crossing is studied beyond the mean-field approximation. The number of atoms formed by the spontaneous

Scattering Length of the Ground-State Mg+Mg Collision

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
Eite Tiesinga, Svetlana A. Kotochigova, Paul S. Julienne
We have constructed the $XA I \Sigma_g^+ $ potential for the collision between two ground state Mg atoms andanalyzed the effect of uncertainties in the shape of the potential on scattering properties at ultra-cold temperatures.This potential reproduces the

Photoassociation of Sodium in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

March 1, 2002
Author(s)
C R. McKenzie, J Denschlag, H Heffner, A Browaeys, L E. de Araujo, F K. Fatemi, Kevin Jones, J E. Simsarian, D Cho, A Simoni, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne, Kristian Helmerson, Paul D. Lett, S L. Rolston, William D. Phillips
We report on the formation of ultra-cold Na2 molecules using single-photon photoassociation of a Bose-Einstein condensate. The photoassociation rate, linewidth and light shift of the J = 1, v = 135 vibrational level of the A^1)Sigma^+_u molecular bound

Quantum Encounters of the Cold Kind

March 1, 2002
Author(s)
K Burnett, Paul S. Julienne, Paul D. Lett, Eite Tiesinga, Carl J. Williams
Ultra cold atomic collisions have a broad impact in experimental and theoretical atomic physics. These encounters occur in a domain where the quantum mechanical aspects of the interacting particles are manifest, since the de Broglie wavelength is enormous
