Multipole Analysis of Radio-Frequency Experiments in Ultra-Cold Atoms    [PDF]

Betzalel Bazak, Evgeny Liverts, Nir Barnea
Using the multipole expansion we analyze photo induced reactions in an ultra-cold atomic gas composed of identical neutral bosons. While the Frank-Condon factor dominates the photo induced spin-flip reactions, we have found that for frozen-spin process the reaction rate is governed by the $r^2$ and quadrupole terms. Consequently, the dependence of the frozen-spin reaction rate on the photon wave number $k$ acquires an extra $k^4$ factor in comparison to the spin-flip process. Comparing the relative strength of the $r^2$ and quadrupole modes in dimer photoassociation we predict that the mutual importance of these two modes changes with temperature and scattering length.
