Zeeman relaxation induced by spin-orbit coupling in cold antimony-helium collisions

We investigate Zeeman relaxation in cold Sb([superscript 4]S[subscript 3/2]∘)-He collisions in a magnetic field. Ensembles of >10[superscript 13] laser-ablated Sb atoms are cooled in cryogenic [superscript 4]He buffer gas to 800 mK and inelastic collisions are observed to equilibrate the m[subscr...
