摘要
We report measurement of the inelastic and elastic collision rates for Sr-88 atoms in the (5s5p)P-3(0) state in a crossed-beam optical dipole trap. Since the (5s5p)P-3(0) state is the lowest level of the triplet manifold, large loss rates indicate the importance of principle-quantum-number-changing collisions at short range. We also provide an estimate of the collisional loss rates for the (5s5p)P-3(2) state. Large loss-rate coefficients for both states indicate that evaporative cooling toward quantum degeneracy in these systems is unlikely to be successful.
