Lett. 101, 100401 (2008) [4 pages]Collisional Properties of p-Wave Feshbach MoleculesSee Also: Publisher's Note Received 10 March 2008; published 3 September 2008; publisher error corrected 16 September 2008 We have observed p-wave Feshbach molecules for all three combinations of the two lowest hyperfine spin states of 6Li. By creating a pure molecular sample in an optical trap, we measured the inelastic collision rates of p-wave molecules. We have also measured the elastic collision rate from the thermalization rate of a breathing mode which was excited spontaneously upon molecular formation. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
