Wehave investigated photoassociation (PA) spectra of ultracold ⁸⁸Sr atoms nearthe 5s² ¹S₀+5s5p ¹P₁ atomic asymptote. The intensity modulation of the PAlines was used to reconstruct the ground-state scattering wave function,whose last nodal point was determined to be r₀=3.78(18) nm. ThePA lines also determined a precise lifetime of the ¹P₁state to be 5.263(4) ns.
