Abstract :
Summary form only given. We have trapped ultracold Rb/sub 2/ molecules in a magnetic trap and studied the atom-molecule inelastic collisions. The properties of atom-molecule collisions and molecule-molecule collisions are very important to the understanding of possible atom-molecular BEC dynamics.
