Using the multipole expansion, we analyze photoinduced reactions in an ultracold atomic gas composed of identical neutral bosons. While Franck-Condon factor dominates spin-flip reactions, have found that for a frozen-spin process which spins are conserved, reaction rate is governed by monopole ${r}^{2}$ and quadrupole terms. Consequently, dependence on photon wave number $k$ acquires extra ${k}^{4}$ comparison to process. Comparing relative strength modes dimer photoassociation, predict...
