Understanding quantum dynamics at the level of individual particles requires precise control over both, electronic and motional degrees of freedom. Trapped atomic ions have long been valuable in this area, though they are limited in studying collective properties. A novel approach that integrates a single ion with ultracold atoms opens up opportunities to investigate phenomena ranging from single-particle to many-body physics. In our experiment, we immerse a single 138Ba+ ion in an ultracold gas of 6Li atoms to investigate atom-ion Feshbach resonances. We examine how the Feshbach resonances depend on the collision energy. By controlling the ion’s kinetic energy and the temperature of the atomic bath, we observe a variation in inelastic losses at higher collision energies near resonance. These findings offer key experimental insights into the energy dependence of partial-wave interactions in atom-ion systems.
