We study collision of two atoms with formation of Feshbach resonance at combined interaction with the external magnetic field and laser radiation. In cases of one- and two-photon resonances of laser radiation with two discrete vibrational molecular levels, we show that Feshbach resonances appear at interaction of external magnetic field with dressed states formed via Autler-Townes effect. In addition, in case of one-photon resonance the lower vibrational molecular state is coupled by laser radiation with the continuum of the elastic channel and forms laser-induced Feshbach resonance via both Autler-Townes effect and LICS mechanism. We study the combined process of formation of Feshbach resonances; this enables the control of Feshbach resonance by varying the magnetic field and intensity and frequency of laser radiation. We obtain the cross-sections of elastic and inelastic scattering and show that quenching of resonance occurs at the energy equal to that of the systems ground state. Dependence of the cross-sections on the magnetic field and laser intensity is examined in detail. In all considered cases, the scattering length is obtained depending on the magnetic and laser fields are studied. In the absence of magnetic interaction if the hyperfine substates of the quasibound state in the closed channel and those of individual colliding atoms in the open channel are the same, Feshbach resonances may arise via weak interaction between nuclear and electronic motions, which leads to transitions between electronic states. The obtained results can be employed in new studies of collisions of cold atoms, e.g., of alkali metal atoms and for interpretation of new experiments in BECs.
