Ultracold photoassociation spectroscopy: Long-range molecules and atomic scattering

KM Jones, E Tiesinga, PD Lett, PS Julienne - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2006 - APS
Photoassociation is the process in which two colliding atoms absorb a photon to form an
excited molecule. The development of laser-cooling techniques for producing gases at …
