摘要：

Elastic and spin-changing inelastic collision cross sections between oxygen molecules and helium atoms are computed in the energy range 0.1-10 K. This study explores the recently demonstrated buffer-gas cooling process that produces magnetically trapped, translationally cold molecules. Conclusions are drawn about the favorable prospects of cooling oxygen molecules, and about the general feasibility of this cooling technique.
