Pinpointing Feshbach Resonances and Testing Efimov Universalities in ${}^{39}$K

Abstract

Using a combination of bound-state spectroscopy and loss spectroscopy, we pinpoint eight intrastate Feshbach resonances in ${}^{39}$K, as well as six previously unexplored interstate ones. We also perform a detailed characterization of four of the intrastate resonances and two of the interstate ones. We carry out coupled-channel scattering calculations and find good agreement with experiment. The combination of experiment and theory provides a faithful map of the scattering length $a$ and permits precision measurements of the signatures of Efimov physics across four intermediate-strength resonances. We measure the modulation of the $a^4$ scaling of the three-body loss coefficient for both $a<0$ and $a>0$, as well as the many-body loss dynamics at unitarity (where $a$ diverges). The absolute positions of the observed Efimov features confirm a ubiquitous breakdown of Efimov--van-der-Waals universality in ${}^{39}$K, while their relative positions are in agreement with the universal Efimov ratios. The loss dynamics at the three broadest Feshbach resonances are universal within experimental uncertainties, consistent with observing little variation in the Efimov width parameters.
