Extended Data Fig. 2: One- and two-body loss.
From: Evaporation of microwave-shielded polar molecules to quantum degeneracy
The bright blue data are taken without a microwave field, while the dark blue and dark green data are taken at Δ = 2π × 8 MHz using a Keysight E8267D and a Rohde & Schwarz SMF100A, respectively. a, Molecule loss at high initial densities. The grey dashed line shows the one-body contribution. The lines are fits to the differential-equation model. b, Loss at low initial densities. The one-body loss rate Γ1 is determined from the measurement with shielding using the Keysight E8267D (dark blue). The lines are exponential fit functions. c, Loss in a 3D optical lattice. The data without (with) microwave are fitted using an exponential (a double-exponential) fit function. The error bars are the standard error of the mean of two (a) or three (b) repetitions.
