Collisions in a dual-species magneto-optical trap of molecules and atoms
We study inelastic collisions between CaF molecules and ^87 Rb atoms in a dual-species magneto-optical trap. The presence of atoms increases the loss rate of molecules from the trap. By measuring the loss rates and density distributions, we determine a collisional loss rate coefficient k _2 = (1.43...
