摘要：

A Raman photoassociation process can be used to form translationally cold molecules from a Bose-Einstein condensate. Coupled-channels scattering calculations show that the rate coefficient for coherent production of molecules in specific target states, > 10(-10) cm(3)/s, can greatly exceed the rate coefficient for heating and loss channels due to excited-state spontaneous decay. This implies the feasibility of rapid coherent conversion of atom pairs in a condensate to molecules on a time scale short compared to the trap oscillation time. [S1050-2947(98)50708-1].
