    "abstract": "We present a multichannel scattering calculation of elastic and inelastic\ncold collisions between two low-field seeking, metastable ^{88}Sr [(5s5p)\n^3P_2] atoms in the presence of an external magnetic field. The scattering\nphysics is governed by strong anisotropic long-range interactions, which lead\nto pronounced coupling among the partial waves of relative motion. As a result,\nnonadiabatic transitions are shown to trigger a high rate of inelastic losses.\nAt relatively high energies, T \u003e 100 mkK, the total inelastic collision rate is\ncomparable with the elastic rate. However, at lower collisional energy, the\nelastic rate decreases, and at T ~ 1mkK, it becomes substantially smaller than\nthe inelastic rate. Our study suggests that magnetic trapping and evaporative\ncooling of ^{88}Sr [(5s5p) ^3P_2] atoms, as well as ^{40}Ca [(4s4p) ^3P_2], in\nlow-field seeking states will prove difficult to achieve experimentally.",
