Generalized simulated annealing method was used in order to reduce the high resolution spectral data provided by photoassociative spectroscopy of ultra cold 87Rb^{87}Rb87Rb and 133Cs^{133}Cs133Cs atoms. The analysis has allowed the determination of the effective dispersion parameters, the chemical exchange energy contribution as well as the dissociation energy concerning the analytical potential representation of the 0−g(P3/2)0^{-}_{g} (P_{3/2})0g(P3/2) state for both, Rb2Rb_{2}Rb2 and Cs2Cs_{2}Cs2, molecules. A detailed comparison with the potential curves obtained through RKR procedure is performed, and the consequences for ultracold molecules formation rates are discussed

Reliable values of dissociation limit constants vD and C3 are derived and compared to the predictions of theoretical works.

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1983

ABSTRACT Observations and analysis of the (0-0) Swan band of (C-12)2, (C-13)2, and (C-12)(C-13) a... more ABSTRACT Observations and analysis of the (0-0) Swan band of (C-12)2, (C-13)2, and (C-12)(C-13) are described. A Fourier transform interferometer was used for recording the spectra. The observed wavenumbers were reduced to molecular parameters using a nonlinear least squares fitting procedure. Molecular parameters for the (a-3)II(v=0), (d-3)II(v=0), and (b-3)sigma(-) levels are presented, along with observed perturbations in the (d-3)II(v=0) level and energies of perturbed and perturbing levels of the three investigated species.

Thirteen vibration-rotation bands of the Deltav = 3 sequence (10-7 to 22-19) were analyzed. Molecular parameters for the ground state X2Pi up to v = 22 are obtained by a

Generalized simulated annealing method was used in order to reduce the high resolution spectral data provided by photoassociative spectroscopy of ultra cold 87Rb^{87}Rb87Rb and 133Cs^{133}Cs133Cs atoms. The analysis has allowed the determination of the effective dispersion parameters, the chemical exchange energy contribution as well as the dissociation energy concerning the analytical potential representation of the 0−g(P3/2)0^{-}_{g} (P_{3/2})0g(P3/2) state for both, Rb2Rb_{2}Rb2 and Cs2Cs_{2}Cs2, molecules. A detailed comparison with the potential curves obtained through RKR procedure is performed, and the consequences for ultracold molecules formation rates are discussed
