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."}],"oa":1,"intvolume":" 82","volume":82,"publist_id":"4778","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:56:16Z","publisher":"American Physical Society","year":"2010","quality_controlled":0,"title":"Multiple scattering of matter waves: An analytic model of the refractive index for atomic and molecular gases","status":"public"}
