Abstract

We report the new observation of several high partial-wave (HPW) magnetic Feshbach resonances (FRs) in 39^{39}K atoms of the hyperfine substate F=1,mF=1\left|F=1,m_{F}=-1\right\rangle. These resonances locate at the region between two broad ss-wave FRs from 32.6 G to 162.8 G, in which Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) can be produced with tunable positive scattering length obtained by magnetic FRs. These HPW FRs are induced by the dipolar spin-spin interaction with s-wave in the open channel and HPW in the closed channel. Therefore, these HPW FRs have distinct characteristics in temperature dependence and loss line shape from that induced by spin-exchange interaction with HPWs in both open and closed channels. Among these resonances, one dd-wave and two gg-wave FRs are confirmed by the multichannel quantum-defect theory (MQDT) calculation. The HPW FRs have significant applications in many-body physics dominated by HPW pairing.
