KW - ultracold atoms, photoassociation reaction, collision theory.
AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">Photoassociation reaction is the process in which two colliding atoms (or the
colliding atom-molecule system) absorb a photon to form an excited molecule. Since
the researches based on the ultracold atomic and molecular systems have attracted
great attention both from theorists and experimentalists, the ultracold photoassociation
reaction is becoming an ascendant research field. In this paper, we review briefly
the investigation history of the photoassociation reaction for ultracold atoms, especially
the basic theory of collision and the photoassociation in different light fields,
and the research on the external-field manipulation of ultracold atoms collisions is
also prospected.</p>
