Tests of universal three-body physics in an ultracold bose-fermi mixture.
Recent measurements of Efimov resonances for a number of ultracold atom species have revealed an unexpected universality, in which three-body scattering properties are determined by the van der Waals length of the two-body interaction potential. To investigate whether this universality extends to heteronuclear mixtures, we measure loss rate coefficients in an ultracold trapped gas of 40K and 87...
متن کاملDeviation from universality in collisions of ultracold 6Li2 molecules.
Collisions of 6Li2 molecules with free 6Li atoms reveal a striking deviation from universal predictions based on long-range van der Waals interactions. Li2 closed-channel molecules are formed in the highest vibrational state near a narrow Feshbach resonance and decay via two-body collisions with Li2, Li, and Na. For Li2 + Li2 and Li2 + Na, the decay rates agree with the universal predictions of...
متن کاملLong-lived complexes and chaos in ultracold molecular collisions
Estimates for the lifetime of collision complexes formed during ultracold molecular collisions based on density-of-states arguments are shown to be consistent with similar estimates based on classical trajectory calculations. In the classical version, these collisions are shown to exhibit chaos and their fractal dimension is calculated versus collision energy. From these results, a picture emer...
متن کاملUniversality in three- and four-body bound states of ultracold atoms.
Under certain circumstances, three or more interacting particles may form bound states. Although the general few-body problem is not analytically solvable, the so-called Efimov trimers appear for a system of three particles with resonant two-body interactions. The binding energies of these trimers are predicted to be universally connected to each other, independent of the microscopic details of...
متن کاملExploring Universality of Few-body Physics Based on Ultracold Atoms near Feshbach Resonances
A universal characterization of interactions in fewand many-body quantum systems is often possible without detailed description of the interaction potential, and has become a defacto assumption for cold atom research. Universality in this context is defined as the validity to fully characterize the system in terms of two-body scattering length. We discuss universality in the following three con...
