摘要
We have observed the transition from the free colliding pair of cesium atoms into the outer well of the double minimum Cs(2)3(1)Sigma(u)(+) state. This photoassociation process takes place in a cesium vapor consisting predominantly of atoms, in which dimers have been about 85% thermally dissociated. Excellent agreement with quasiclassical simulations was found. we discuss the possibility of using a double minimum Cs(2)3(1)Sigma(u)(+) state for the formation of ultracold Cs(2)X(1)Sigma(g)(+) molecules.
