Dipolar relaxation collisions in magnetically trapped 7Li |

Description |
We report the measurement of the rate constant for dipolar relaxation from the (F=2, mF=2) hyperfine state of 7Li. The atoms are confined in a permanent magnet trap at a field of 10^3 G. The measured value of (1.05±0.10)X10^-14 cm3/s agrees well with theory. Additionally, we determine an upper bound for the three-body molecular recombination rate constant of 10^-27 cm6/s, which is also consistent with predictions. |
