Cooling and Trapping of Atoms and Particles
Abstract
In this work, we report a summary of the more than 60 magnetic field-induced Feshbach resonances in ultracold collisions of ground-state cesium atoms. The detection is based on elastic, inelastic and radiative collision processes. The observations have allowed us to improve upon the interaction potentials between cesium atoms, which, in turn, allowed us to predict the possible magnetic field regions where the Bose condensation of cesium atoms would be possible. This knowledge provided the foundation for other researchers, who have achieved Bose condensation of cesium with the application of an external magnetic field in accordance with our predictions.
