Multichannel Scattering and Loss Processes of Ultracold Atoms in Anisotropic Harmonic Waveguides
arXiv:1604.05457 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.93.063616
Abstract
We have developed the general grid method for multi-channel scattering of bosonic atoms inside a harmonic waveguide with transverse anisotropy. This approach is employed to analyze elastic as well as inelastic multi-channel confined scattering. For the elastic scattering, the effects of the range and form of interatomic potential and the waveguide anisotropy on the confinement induced resonance are studied. We have also investigated quantitatively the reactive rate constant in confined atom-atom collisions. It is found that a slight anisotropy to the confining trap considerably enhances the reactive rate constant in multi-channel regime.
