Three-boson recombination at ultralow temperatures
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of trimer continuum resonances are considered in the three-body recombination rate of a Bose system at finite energies for large and negative two-body scattering lengths (a). The thermal average of the rate allows to apply our formula to Bose gases at ultra-low temperatures. We found a good quantitative description of the experimental three-body recombination length of cesium atoms to deeply bound molecules up to 500 nK. Consistent with the experimental data, the increase of the temperature moves the resonance peak of the three-body recombination rate to lower values of |a| exhibiting a saturation behavior.

Calibrating models of ultralow-mass stars
Evolutionary and atmospheric models have become available for young ultralow-mass objects. These models are being used to determine fundamental parameters from observational properties. TiO bands are used to determine effective temperatures in ultralow-mass objects, and together with Naand K-lines to derive gravities at the substellar boundary. Unfortunately, model calibrations in (young) ultra...

متن کاملThree-body recombination of cold fermionic atoms
Recombination of identical, spin-polarized fermions in cold threebody collisions is investigated. We parametrize the mechanisms for recombination in terms of the ‘scattering volume’ Vp and another length scale r0. Model two-body interactions were used within the framework of the adiabatic hyperspherical representation. We examine the recombination rate K3 as a function of the collision energy E...
متن کاملStructure and stability of vortices in dilute Bose-Einstein condensates at ultralow temperatures.
We compute the structure of a quantized vortex line in a harmonically trapped dilute atomic Bose-Einstein condensate using the Popov version of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mean-field theory. The vortex is shown to be (meta)stable in a nonrotating trap even in the zero-temperature limit, thus confirming that weak particle interactions induce for the condensed gas a fundamental property character...
متن کاملThree-boson problem near a narrow Feshbach resonance.
We consider a three-boson system with resonant binary interactions and show that for sufficiently narrow resonances three-body observables depend only on the resonance width and the scattering length. The effect of narrow resonances is qualitatively different from that of wide resonances revealing novel physics of three-body collisions. We calculate the rate of three-body recombination to a wea...
