SYCC: Symposium From Molecular Spectroscopy to Collision Control at the Quantum Limit

SYCC 1: From Molecular Spectroscopy to Collision Control at the Quantum Limit

SYCC 1.2: Invited Talk

Thursday, March 9, 2023, 11:30–12:00, E415

Using high-resolution molecular spectroscopy to explore how chemical reactions work — •Johannes Hecker Denschlag — Institut für Quantenmaterie, Universität Ulm

Understanding in detail chemical reactions which involve three or more atoms is still a major challenge. Our group has developed experimental and theoretical methods which allow for gaining novel insights in ultracold few-body reactions. These methods are based on a state-to-state chemistry approach and rely heavily on high-resolution molecular spectroscopy. In my talk I will give an overview of our research on three-body recombination of ultracold Rb atoms. This will include recent results where we have found a propensity rule for spin conservation and a universal scaling law for the molecular production rate.
