Measurement of elastic cross section for cold cesium collisions
We have measured the time taken for a magnetically trapped cloud of cold cesium atoms in the (F =3,mF=-3) ground state to rethermalize from a nonequilibrium spatial and velocity distribution. From these measurements we infer the dependences of the elastic scattering cross section on temperature and...
