Abstract

We study the collisions of doubly spin-polarized 85Rb atoms at millikelvin temperatures using photoassociation spectroscopy. Because the atoms are spin polarized, only triplet collisional states are formed. This leads to photoassociation spectra of a particularly simple form, which provide a very direct probe of the ground state collision. These spectra are analyzed to yield the ground state triplet scattering length -1000a0
