Photoinduced Two-Body Loss of Ultracold Molecules

© 2019 American Physical Society. The lifetime of nonreactive ultracold bialkali gases was conjectured to be limited by sticky collisions amplifying three-body loss. We show that the sticking times were previously overestimated and do not support this hypothesis. We find that electronic excitation o...
