Interatomic interactions in ultracold mixtures — •Vineetha Naniyil, Pierre Jouve, Elisa Da Ros, Jonathan Nute, Daniele Bandolini, Nathan Cooper, and Lucia Hackermüller — Nottingham University, United Kingdom

Experimental studies on degenerate Bose-Fermi mixtures suggest that they are a promising candidate for use in quantum information technologies. Our experimental work aims to generate ultracold mixtures of 6Li and 133Cs that would allow us to study interspecies interactions like heteronuclear Efimov states and fermionic molecules. Here we present some initial results in which we use in situ optical density measurements of molecular 6Li Bose-Einstein condensates to compare different theoretical models for the atomic density distribution. We also describe the design and characterisation of a dual-species collimated oven source and Zeeman slower for 6Li and 133Cs.
