Three-body losses and three-body correlations in one-dimensional systems — •Elmar Haller, Manfred J. Mark, Johann G.

We load a Bose-Einstein condensate of cesium atoms into an array of tube-like 1D traps generated by a 2D optical lattice potential, and we control the interaction strength by means of a 1D confinement-induced resonance [1]. Unlike for ultracold atoms in 3D geometry, which show a dramatic increase of three-body losses in the proximity of a Feshbach resonance, we observe a strong suppression of three-body losses in 1D. This suppression originates from a strong reduction of the three-body correlation function g3 at close distances in 1D. We find a reduction of g3 by several orders of magnitude for an increasing interaction parameter γ. The scaling of g3(γ) is compared to theoretical predictions [2]
