Quasi-1D geometry Match the behavior of the wavefunction with the short-range boundary conditions at
Elastic collision checking the behavior of the wavefunction at large separation, i.e., , all the scattering parameters could easily be obtained. For example, (for isotropic interaction) Granger&Blume (2004); Pricoupenko (2008) S.-G. Peng, et al., PRL112, 250401 (2014).
Inelastic collision S.-G. Peng, et al., PRL 112, 250401 (2014).
Quasi-2D geometry After a similar procedure as that of 1D case, the scattering amplitude, phase shift, and scattering area can easily be obtained, as well as those inelastic parameters. S.-G. Peng, et al., PRL 112, 250401 (2014).
vs Experiments PRL 95, 230401 (2005). PRL 112, 250401 (2014).
Conclusions Introduce an useful short-range boundary conditions for p-wave interactions, which can describe the splitting of the p-wave resonances; According to the short-range boundary conditions, we study the elastic scattering properties, as well as those of inelastic collision; Our theory agrees well with the observations of the experiment.
