Cold collisions of heavy ${}^2\Sigma$ molecules with alkali-metal atoms in a magnetic field: Ab initio analysis and prospects for sympathetic cooling of SrOH${(}^2\Sigma )$ by Li(${}^2$S)

Masato Morita, Jacek Kłos, Alexei A. Buchachenko +1

We use accurate ab initio and quantum scattering calculations to explore the prospects for sympathetic cooling of the heavy molecular radical SrOH(${}^2\Sigma$) by ultracold Li atoms in a…
