Phys. Rev. A 71, 063603 (2005) [5 pages]Dynamics of a molecular Bose-Einstein condensate near a Feshbach resonanceReceived 24 October 2004; published 14 June 2005 We consider the dissociation of a molecular Bose-Einstein condensate due to a magnetic-field sweep that starts on the molecular side of a Feshbach resonance and ends either on the atomic or on the molecular side. We determine both the time-dependent response of the molecular condensate wave function and the energy distribution of the atoms produced after the sweep. In the cases where experiments have been performed, our analytic and numerical calculations provide good agreement with experimental atomic energy distributions. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
