abstract = "The conversion efficiency of ultracold fermionic atoms to bosonic molecules was discussed. The study was carried out by using Feshbach resonance sweep experiments. It was found that the observed 50% saturation of the atom-molecule conversion efficiency in the fast Feshbach sweep regimes. The results show that the elastic-scattering collision between atoms in different spin states results in cooling of the trapped gas as hot atoms leave the trap.",
