We analyse a narrow Feshbach resonance with ultra-cold chromium atoms colliding in d-wave. The resonance is made possible by dipole-dipole interactions, which couple an incoming $l=2$ collision channel with a bound molecular state with…
Resonances, or scattering poles, are complex numbers which mathematically describe meta-stable states: the real part of a resonance gives the rest energy, and its imaginary part, the rate of decay of a meta-stable state. This description…
