Abstract
We have observed -wave Feshbach molecules for all three combinations of the two lowest hyperfine spin states of . By creating a pure molecular sample in an optical trap, we measured the inelastic collision rates of -wave molecules. We have also measured the elastic collision rate from the thermalization rate of a breathing mode which was excited spontaneously upon molecular formation.
