Cooling and Trapping of Atoms and Particles
ABSTRACT
In this work, we report a summary of the more than 60 magnetic field-induced Feshbach resonances in ultracold collisions
of ground-state cesium atoms. The detection is based on elastic, inelastic and radiative collision processes. The observations
have allowed us to improve upon the interaction potentials between cesium atoms, which, in turn, allowed us to predict the
possible magnetic field regions where the Bose condensation of cesium atoms would be possible. This knowledge provided
the foundation for other researchers, who have achieved Bose condensation of cesium with the application of an external
magnetic field in accordance with our predictions.
