Three-body losses in Dysprosium — •Fabian Böttcher, Matthias Schmitt, Matthias Wenzel, Carl Bühner, Igor Ferrier-Barbut, and Tilman Pfau — 5. Physikalisches Institut and Center for Integrated Quantum Science and Technology, Universität Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 57, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany

Strongly dipolar quantum gases enable the observation of many-body phenomena with anisotropic, long-range interactions. These interactions lead to a spectrum with a background of chaotic distributed narrow Feshbach resonances, as well as some universal broad resonances [1]. With Feshbach resonances it is well known that the scattering length can be tuned and that at the same time also the three-body recombination rate changes.
Motivated by the fact that the lifetime of the selfbound quantum droplets [2] is limited by the three-body loss rate, we present an extensive study of the three-body loss rate.
