Spin-Orbit Suppression of Cold Inelastic Collisions of Aluminum and Helium

Spin-Orbit Suppression of Cold Inelastic Collisions of Aluminum and Helium

We present a quantitative study of suppression of cold inelastic collisions by the spin-orbit interaction. We prepare cold ensembles of >10[superscript 11] Al([superscript 2]P[subscript 1/2]) atoms via cryogenic buffer-gas cooling and use a single-beam optical pumping method to measure their magn...
