Characterization of elastic scattering near a Feshbach resonance in rubidium 87
Abstract
The s-wave scattering length for elastic collisions between 87Rb atoms in the state |f,mf>=|1,1> is measured in the vicinity of a Feshbach resonance near 1007 G. Experimentally, the scattering length is determined from the mean-field driven expansion of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a homogeneous magnetic field. The scattering length is measured as a function of the magnetic field and agrees with the theoretical expectation. The position and the width of the resonance are determined to be 1007.40 G and 0.20 G, respectively.
