Hutson, Musie Beyene, and Maykel Leonardo González-Martínez<br/>We show that low-energy inelastic cross sections can decrease as well as increase in the vicinity of a zero-energy Feshbach resonance. When an external field is used to tune across such a resonance, the real and imaginary parts of the scattering length show asymmetric oscillations with both peaks an...<br/>[Phys. Rev.

Greene<br/>Formulas for the cross section and event rate constant describing recombination of N particles are derived in terms of general S-matrix elements. Our result immediately yields the generalized Wigner threshold scaling for the recombination of N bosons. A semianalytical formula encapsulates the overal...<br/>[Phys. Rev.
