Coherent tunneling of atoms and dimers in half spaces — •Michael Grupp, Reinhold Walser, and Wolfgang Schleich — Institut für Quantenphysik, Universität Ulm, D-89069 Ulm, Germany

Feshbach scattering of fermions in an one-dimensional optical lattice is an intensively investigated subject [1,2]. Scattering theory in free space differs significantly from scattering in a lattice. By breaking the continuous translation symmetry the center-of-mass momentum of the two particles becomes a new control parameter of Feshbach scattering. We have reported numerical results of this effect in [3]. In the present contribution we study a simple analytic model of this effect by considering the coherent Feshbach scattering of atoms and dimers in half spaces.
