• Abstract summary: Cross sections for a broad range of resonant it inelastic processes exhibit an unconventional near-threshold scaling $EDelta m_12$. For collisions dominated by even partial waves (such as those of identical bosons in the same internal state) the scaling is modified to $sigma_textinelpropto EDelta m_12 +1 $ if $Delta m_12$ is odd.

• Abstract: We show that the cross sections for a broad range of resonant {\it inelastic} processes accompanied by excitation exchange (such as spin-exchange, F\"orster resonant, or angular momentum exchange) exhibit an unconventional near-threshold scaling $E^{\Delta m_{12}}$, where $E$ is the collision energy, $\Delta m_{12}=m_1'+m_2'-m_1-m_2$, and $m_i$ and $m_i'$ are the initial and final angular momentum projections of the colliding species ($i=1,\,2$). In particular, the inelastic cross sections for $\Delta m_{12}=0$ transitions display an unconventional $E^0$ scaling similar to that of elastic cross sections, and their rates vanish as $T^{\Delta m_{12}+1/2}$. For collisions dominated by even partial waves (such as those of identical bosons in the same internal state) the scaling is modified to $\sigma_\text{inel}\propto E^{\Delta m_{12} +1} $ if $\Delta m_{12}$ is odd. We present accurate quantum scattering calculations that illustrate these modified threshold laws for resonant spin exchange in ultracold Rb+Rb and O$_2$+O$_2$ collisions. Our results illustrate that the threshold scaling of collision cross sections is determined only by the energetics of the underlying process (resonant vs. exothermic) rather than by whether the internal states of colliding particles is changed in the collision.

  We compute the superradiant interaction rates for the Cosmic Neutrino Background (C$nu$B), dark matter scattering and absorption, and late-universe particles. We show that these superradiant interactions can manifest as a source of noise on the system. This points to new observables, sensitive to the sum of the excitation and de-excitation rates, and can be viewed as introducing diffusion and decoherence to the system.

  We study the $p$-wave elastic collision rates in a two-dimensional spin-polarized ultracold Fermi gas in the presence of a $p$-wave Feshbach resonance. In the zero-range limit where the effective range is negligible, the elastic collision rate coefficient is proportional to temperature $T2$ and scattering area $A_p2$. Our results suggest that $p$-wave evaporation may be performed with improved efficiency and may provide insight into the dynamics of the system in experiments.

The violation of ETH in these driven finite-sized chains is also evident from the dynamical freezing displayed by the density density correlation function at specific $omega_D
