Abstract

The main goal of the proposed research is to study the detection and control of ultracold atoms and molecules, with particular emphasis on the use of storage rings and polar diatomic molecules. Such rings, which are now being considered by several experimental groups offer much promise for precise matter-wave interferometry, studies of ultracold collisions and of the fundamental properties of quantum-degenerate atomic and molecular systems with anisotropic interactions, and more generally the manipulation and control of quantum-degenerate quantum matter. The proposed work is theoretical and will use a combination of analytical and numerical techniques
