Here, we report on the observation of a random to chaotic temperature transformation in the statistics of nearest-neighbor spacings of Fano-Feshbach resonances in the ultracold polarized gas of thulium-169 atoms. We associate this transformation to the appearance of so-called d resonances as well as the shift of other resonances with the temperature. In addition to this statistical change, it has been observed that the characters of s- and d-resonance temperature shifts are quite different: s resonances experience almost no shift or even negative shift with the temperature, while d resonances experience an obvious positive shift. The sign change was attributed to the difference in polarizability of Feshbach molecules and free thulium atoms. In addition, careful analysis of the broad Fano-Feshbach resonances enabled the determination of the sign of thulium's background scattering length. A rethermalization experiment made it possible to estimate a length value of a_{bg}=+144±38 a.u. This indicates that thulium atoms are suitable for achieving Bose-Einstein condensation.

Collisions of sodium and chlorine atoms and of their ions are studied within the diabatic two-state picture at energies below and above the ionic threshold with focus on the processes of radiative association, chemiionisation, and mutual neutralisation. The radiative-association cross sections as functions of collision energy are calculated up to 4.6 eV in the case of neutral atoms and up to 3.

A method to calculate the autoionization width from a discretized pseudo-spectrum is proposed. This method relies on an analytic continuation of Green's function within the Fano-Feshbach formalism. The pseudo-spectrum is obtained at the multireference configuration interaction level in a square-integrable basis set, commonly found in quantum chemistry software.

Recently, the transformation from random to chaotic behavior in the statistics of Fano-Feshbach resonances was observed in thulium atoms with rising ensemble temperature. We performed random matrix theory simulations of such spectra and analyzed the resulting statistics in an attempt to understand the mechanism of the transformation. Our simulations show that, when evaluated in terms of the Brody parameter, resonance statistics do not change or change insignificantly when higher temperature resonances are appended to the statistics.

Decay of bound states due to coupling with free particle states is a general phenomenon occurring at energy scales from MeV in nuclear physics to peV in ultracold atomic gases. Such a coupling gives rise to Fano-Feshbach resonances (FFR) that have become key to understanding and controlling interactions-in ultracold atomic gases, but also between quasiparticles, such as microcavity polaritons. Their energy positions were shown to follow quantum chaotic statistics.
