Chemical few-body reactions at ultralow temperatures exhibit scaling laws which are directly linked to the nature of the involved particles and their interactions. Here, the authors investigate the kinetics of four-body collision processes where diatomic molecules which are composed of ultracold fermionic atoms are either formed or dissociated.
