Cold Atoms, Cold Molecules, and Spectroscopy

这个理论和计算工作的建议有两个组成部分。第一部分的目标是扩展Ananikian和PI最近对双势阱中玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚的处理，以考虑与热原子的相互作用，第二部分的建议旨在帮助实验努力从冷原子产生超冷分子。一个困难是这些系统的光谱是复杂和未知的。这些数据对实验至关重要，需要进行多通道计算。

This proposal for theoretical and computational work has two components. The goal ofthe first part is to extend a recent treatment of Bose-Einstein condensates in double-wellpotentials by Ananikian and the PI to take into account interactions with thermal atoms.The second part of this proposal is intended to assist experimental efforts to produceultracold molecules from cold atoms. One difficulty is that the spectroscopy of thesesystems is complex and unknown. Multichannel calculations are required to obtain theimportant data which is crucially important to the experiments.
