Abstract

We characterize the long-range dipolar scattering in two dimensions. We use the analytic zero energy wave function including the dipolar interaction; this solution yields universal dipolar scattering properties in the threshold regime. We also study the semiclassical dipolar scattering and find universal dipolar scattering for this energy regime. For both energy regimes, we discuss the validity of the universality and give physical examples of the scattering.
