Greatly enhanced absorption of non-resonant microwave fields by ultracold molecules near a Feshbach resonance
arXiv:1004.0481 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.82.030702
Abstract
We show that the probability of the collision-induced absorption of non-resonant microwave photons by a gas of ultracold molecules is dramatically enhanced near a Feshbach scattering resonance. This can be used for detecting Feshbach resonances of ultracold molecules by measuring the microwave field absorption and for tuning the elastic scattering cross sections of ultracold molecules by varying the frequency and intensity of the microwave field in a wide range of the field parameters.
