Abstract
We report on a new method to detect photoassociation resonance signals with the collective dipole oscillations induced by the excitation laser momentum in a cold atomic cloud confined in a magnetic trap. A precise value for the s-wave scattering length, a =7.48(+0.29/−0.36) nm is found, which agrees well with our previous measurements.
