Abstract

Description

Collisions and chemical reactions of molecules in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are extremely sensitive to weak fields. This sensitivity arises due to the high density of compound resonances and a macroscopic number of molecules with kinetic energy E=0 (perfect energy resolution). We suggest that chemical reactions in molecular BECs could be used to enhance effects produced by small external perturbations and search for a parity-violating energy difference in chiral molecules.
