Controlling collisional loss and scattering lengths of ultracold dipolar molecules with static electric fields

Trapped samples of ultracold molecules are often short-lived because close collisions between them result in trap loss. We investigate the use of shielding with static electric fields to create repulsive barriers between polar molecules to prevent such loss. Shielding is very effective even for RbCs...
