The model, which combines the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) treatment of the long-range attraction with the Fraunhofer model treatment of the short-range repulsion, furnishes a refractive index in compelling agreement with recent experiments of Jacquey [Phys. Rev. Lett.PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.98.240405 98, 240405 (2007)] on Li atom matter waves passing through dilute noble gases. We show that the diffractive contribution, which arises from scattering by a two-dimensional "hard core" of the potential, is essential for obtaining a correct imaginary part of the refractive index.","lang":"eng"}],"_id":"2197","publication":"Physical Review A - Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics","quality_controlled":0,"date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:55:55Z","main_file_link":[{"url":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1003.0854","open_access":"1"}],"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:56:16Z","date_published":"2010-08-18T00:00:00Z","oa":1,"volume":82,"year":"2010","type":"journal_article","publisher":"American Physical Society","day":"18","month":"08","status":"public","extern":1,"title":"Multiple scattering of matter waves: An analytic model of the refractive index for atomic and molecular gases","publication_status":"published"}
