Magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances in Li + Yb(${}^3{P}_J$)

Abstract

We have investigated magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances arising from the interaction of Li(${}^{2}S$) with metastable Yb(${}^3{P}_2$) and (${}^3{P}_0$). For Yb(${}^3{P}_2$), all the resonance features are strongly suppressed by inelastic collisions that produce Yb in its lower-lying ${}^3{P}_1$ and ${}^3{P}_0$ states. For Yb(${}^3{P}_0$), sharp resonances exist but they are extremely narrow (widths less than 1 mG).
