Ultracold collisions of Cs in excited hyperfine and Zeeman states.

We investigate Cs+Cs scattering in excited Zeeman and hyperfine states. We calculate the real and imaginary parts of the s-wave scattering length; the imaginary part directly provides the rate coefficient for 2-body inelastic loss, while the real part allows us to identify regions of magnetic field where 3-body recombination will be slow. We identify field regions where Cs in its $(f,m_f)=(3,+2)$ and $(3,+1)$ states may be stable enough to allow Bose-Einstein condensation, and additional regions for these and the $(3,0)$ and $(3,-3)$ states where high-density clouds should be long-lived.
