| Abstract | |
In this work, we study a partial wave resonance process which allows us to increase the molecule formation rate up to six times. This was done by an atomic temperature variation which was first trapped in a magneto optical trap (MOT) by applying a molasses stage. A qualitative explanation was presented for the observed effect through the partial waves solutions for ground states interacting atoms. We loaded an optical dipole trap formed by a Ti:Sapphire laser. Finally, we discuss the importance of such results for our research and their use in future experiments. (AU) | |
