Properties of the ground [superscript 3]F[subscript 2] state and the excited [superscript 3]P[subscript 0] state of atomic thorium in cold collisions with [superscript 3]He

Inelastic cross sections for collisions between thorium (Th) and helium ([superscript 3]He) are measured. For Th[[superscript 3]F[subscript 2]]-[superscript 3]He, we determine the ratio of momentum transfer to Zeeman relaxation cross sections to be γ ∼ 500 at 800 mK. For Th[[superscript 3]P[subscrip...
