Mickelson, PG, Martinez YN, Saenz AD, Nagel SB, Chen YC, Killian TC, Pellegrini P, Cote R.  2005.  Spectroscopic determination of the s-wave scattering lengths of Sr-86 and Sr-88, Nov 25. Physical Review Letters. 95 AbstractWebsite

We report the use of photoassociative spectroscopy to determine the ground-state s-wave scattering lengths for the main bosonic isotopes of strontium, Sr-86 and Sr-88. Photoassociative transitions are driven with a laser red detuned by up to 1400 GHz from the S-1(0)-P-1(1) atomic resonance at 461 nm. A minimum in the transition amplitude for Sr-86 at -494 +/- 5 GHz allows us to determine the scattering lengths 610a(0)< a(86)< 2300a(0) for Sr-86 and a much smaller value of -1a(0)< a(88)< 13a(0) for Sr-88.
