Collisional de-excitation rates of partially deuterated molecules are different from the fully hydrogenated species because of lowering of symmetry. We compute the collisional (de)excitation rates of ND2H by ground state para-H2, extending…
We study the three-body problem of two ultracold identical bosonic atoms (denoted by $B$) and one extra atom (denoted by $X$), where the scattering length $a_{BX}$ between each bosonic atom and atom $X$ is resonantly large and positive. We…
We have investigated cold ionizing heteronuclear collisions in dilute mixtures of metastable (2 3S1) 3He and 4He atoms, extending our previous work on the analogous homonuclear collisions [R. J. W. Stas et al., PRA 73, 032713 (2006)]. A…
We present a coupled-cluster calculation for the electron-$^4$He scattering in the region of the quasi-elastic peak. We show the longitudinal and transverse responses separately, and discuss results within two distinct theoretical methods:…

We calculate the scattering lenths A(K-,3He) and A(K-,4He) using the multiple scattering approach and different parameters sets for the elementary a(Kbar,N). Within the zero-range approximation, we find for both systems loosely bound states…

The size of the helium trimer is determined by diffracting a beam of He-4 clusters from a 100 nm grating inclined by 21 degree. Due to the bar thickness the projected slit width is roughly halved to 27 nm, increasing the sensitivity to the…
