Loss of Ultracold Molecules via Optical Excitation of Long-Lived Two-Body Collision Complexes

PD Gregory, JA Blackmore, SL Bromley, SL Cornish - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We show that the lifetime of ultracold ground-state Rb 87 Cs 133 molecules in an optical trap
is limited by fast optical excitation of long-lived two-body collision complexes. We partially …
