Energy scaling of cold atom-atom-ion three-body recombination

Artjom Krükow, Amir Mohammadi, Arne Härter +3

We study three-body recombination of Ba${}^{+}$ + Rb + Rb in the mK regime where a single ${}^{138}$Ba${}^{+}$ ion in a Paul trap is immersed into a cloud of ultracold ${}^{87}$Rb atoms. We…
