Abstract

We have measured the rate of inelastic collisions in a cloud of doubly polarized ground-state cesium atoms ( F = mF = 4) confined in a magnetic trap for temperatures T between 8 and 70μK. We find a two-body rate coefficient varying as T-0.63. At 8 μK it reaches 4×10-12 cm3s-1 which is 3 orders of magnitude larger than predicted, ruling out a Bose-Einstein condensation of Cs in this internal state.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
