Degenerate Fermi Gas of Sr

arXiv:1005.0668 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.105.030402

Abstract

We report quantum degeneracy in a gas of ultra-cold fermionic Sr atoms. By evaporatively cooling a mixture of spin states in an optical dipole trap for 10.5\,s, we obtain samples well into the degenerate regime with . The main signature of degeneracy is a change in the momentum distribution as measured by time-of-flight imaging, and we also observe a decrease in evaporation efficiency below .
