Shielding collisions of ultracold CaF molecules with static electric fields

We study collisions of ultracold CaF molecules in strong static electric fields. These fields allow the creation of long-range barriers in the interaction potential, effectively preventing the molecules from reaching the short-range region where inelastic and other loss processes are likely to occur...
