Enhanced Dimer Relaxation in an Atomic/Molecular BEC
arXiv:cond-mat/0303249 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.70.042706
Abstract
We derive a universal formula for the rate constant βfor relaxation of a shallow dimer into deeply-bound diatomic molecules in the case of atoms with a large scattering length a. We show that βis determined by a and by two 3-body parameters that also determine the binding energies and widths of Efimov states. The rate constant βscales like \hbar a/m near the resonance, but the coefficient is a periodic function of ln(a) that may have resonant enhancement at values of a that differ by multiples of 22.7.
