Transient analysis of the Erlang A model

Charles Knessl, Johan S. H. van Leeuwaarden

We consider the Erlang A model, or queue, with Poisson arrivals, exponential service times, and parallel servers, and the property that waiting customers abandon the…

Stability of rubidium molecules in the lowest triplet state

B. J. Verhaar, S. J. J. M. F. Kokkelmans

Experiments involving ultracold molecules require sufficiently long lifetimes, which can be very short for excited rovibrational states in the molecular potentials. For alkali atom…
