Laser-induced photoassociation of ultracold sodium atoms
Abstract
We present the theory of laser-induced radiative association in terms of a scattering resonance formalism and apply this theory to the specific case of Na atom collisions at a temperature of 10 mK. Use of ultracold atoms permits a new kind of high-resolution free-bound spectroscopy for the study of near-threshold collisions and excited-state energy levels which are difficult to study by conventional bound state spectroscopy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
