Abstract

Metastable xenon provides a rich field of study for ultracold collisions. There are nine stable isotopes of xenon, all of which may be magnetooptically trapped and laser cooled to well below 1 mK, and both bosonic (even) and fermionic (odd) isotopes are available. Penning ionizing collisions between atoms in the 6s[3/2]2 metastable state are the main loss mechanism from our magneto-optical trap (MOT) and provide a simple probe of collisional processes.
