Abstract

In order to evaluate g 0, the interaction strength of a pair of 52Cr atoms with total spin S = 0, a specially designed s-wave scattering of the pair has been studied theoretically. Both the incident atom and the target atom trapped by a potential are polarized previously but in reverse directions. Due to spin-flips, the outgoing atom may have spin component μ ranging from −3 to 3. The outgoing channels are classified by μ. The effect of g 0 on the s-wave cross sections of each of these μ- channels has been predicted. In particular, when the parameters of the trapping potential are given around their optimal values so that the cross sections can be maximized, distinguished features of the dependence of the cross sections on g 0 are found. These features are helpful for evaluating g 0.
