摘要：

We study the kinetic energy changes taking place in collisions of atoms in a laser cooled cloud. We present a quantum approach, which can treat cold collisions at temperatures well below the Doppler limit of laser cooling. In our numerical treatment we observe an increase in the kinetic energy which depends strongly on the laser detuning and intensity.
