Collision studies in ultra cold calcium atoms — •Hannes Winter and Andreas Hemmerich — Institut für Laserphysik, Universität Hamburg,

We present collision studies of metastable optically trapped calcium atoms and discuss the feasibility of achieving Bose-Einstein condensation in these states by evaporative cooling methods. The metastable states of alkaline earth and rare earth elements have novel elastic and inelastic scattering properties [1], with important implications for applications like time metrology and lattice-based quantum computing.

The atoms are prepared by an alternative method analogous to the one used to create a ground state BEC [2].

We also discuss our new setup to realize a superradiant laser [3] similar to the proposal by [4].
