摘要: Interactions between atoms in ultracold quantum gases play an important role in the study of the quantum simulation of many-body physics. Feshbach resonance is a versatile tool to control atomic interactions, where the atom-loss spectra are widely used to characterize Feshbach resonances of various atomic species. Here, we report the experimental observation of momentum-induced broadening of widths in atom-loss spectra of narrow $^{133}$Cs Feshbach resonances. We drive Bragg excitation to kick the Bose-Einstein condensate of Cs atoms in a cigar-shaped optical trap, and measure the atom-loss spectra of narrow Feshbach resonances of moving ultracold atoms near the magnetic fields 19.84 G and 47.97 G. We show that the widths of the atom-loss spectra are broadened for the atoms with the momenta of 2$\hbar k$ and 4$\hbar k$, and even observe splitting in the Feshbach resonance of the atoms with momentum 4$\hbar k$. Our work may open the way for exploring the interesting physical phenomena arising from the collective velocity of colliding atoms that have been ignored in general.
