Abstract
We report on ultracold atomic collision experiments utilizing frequency-chirped laser light. A rapid
chirp below the atomic resonance results in adiabatic excitation to an attractive molecular potential over a
wide range of internuclear separation. This leads to a transient inelastic collision rate which is large
compared to that obtained with fixed-frequency excitation. The combination of high efficiency and
temporal control demonstrates the benefit of applying the techniques of coherent control to the ultracold
domain.
