Nonlinear Zeeman effect in photoassociation spectra of ⁴⁰Ca near the ³P₁+¹S₀ asymptote

We present calculations of the Zeeman effect of narrow photoassociation lines of $^{40}$Ca near the $^3$P$_1$ + $^1$S$_0$ asymptote. Using a coupled-channel model we find a nonlinear Zeeman effect that even at low fields of a few mT amounts to several kHz. With this model we analyze previous measurements and give corrected long range dispersion coefficients of the $^3\Pi_{u}$ and $^3\Sigma^+ _{u}$ states.
