Magnetic relaxation in dysprosium-dysprosium collisions

The collisional magnetic reorientation rate constant gR is measured for magnetically trapped atomic dysprosium (Dy), an atom with large magnetic dipole moments. Using buffer gas cooling with cold helium, large numbers (>1011) of Dy are loaded into a magnetic trap and the buffer gas is subsequentl...
