  • Abstract
    We have observed the transition from the free colliding pair of cesium atoms into the outer well of the double minimum Cs2 3 1Σu+ state. This photoassociation process takes place in a cesium vapor consisting predominantly of atoms, in which dimers have been about 85% thermally dissociated. Excellent agreement with quasiclassical simulations was found. We discuss the possibility of using a double minimum Cs2 3 1Σu+ state for the formation of ultracold Cs2 X 1Σg+ molecules.
