Abstract
Summary form only given. The collisional interactions between the atoms in an cold, dense atomic gas play a crucial role in determining the dynamics and stability of the gas and the approach to Bose-Einstein condensation. This talk will give simple interpretive physical models of threshold scattering, backed up by full quantum scattering calculations for collisions between extremely cold Na atoms or Rb atoms.
