What is recorded here?
Zhang, Nagata and colleagues observed collective atom–molecule reaction dynamics in an ultracold cesium gas near a narrow Feshbach resonance. After rapid molecule formation and heating, the atomic and molecular populations oscillated for several milliseconds. Higher condensate densities produced faster oscillations. The density scaling and an approximately 20 percent molecular fraction supported a model dominated by coherent three-body recombination. The family was first reported in 2022 and published in 2023.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The mechanism is inferred from finite-time population measurements and comparisons with approximate few-mode models, with losses, calibration uncertainty and trap-dependent density estimates. It does not establish that all reactions accelerate on cooling: the measured initial formation-rate coefficient fell below the condensation temperature. Earlier molecule condensation and reactive-coupling theories are inherited; entanglement and loss-free transfer were not demonstrated here. Exact2023 publication differences and quantitative model-prefactor discrepancies remain unresolved.
