Setup of a Li MOT for the study of ultracold molecule production — •Michael Köppinger, Frank Münchow, Florian Baumer, and Axel Görlitz — Institut für Experimentalphysik, HHU Düsseldorf, 40225 Düsseldorf

Quantum gases of ultracold polar molecules offer fascinating prospects for the realization of new forms of quantum matter with possible applications to quantum information and to precision measurements. Recently we have begun to study the photoassociative production of heteronuclear molecules in a mixture of ultracold Yb and Rb atoms and observed molecule production in the excited state.

While a mixture of Yb and Rb allows for the production of boson-boson and boson-fermion molecules, in a mixture of Yb and Li it would also be possible to explore the properties of fermion-fermion molecules. Therefore, we have started to set up a Li MOT in a compact test chamber which will eventually be merged with the Yb-Rb mixture. Here we report on the status of the experiment.
