Ultracold mixtures of atomic Li-6 and Cs-133 with tunable interactions

Abstract

We report the experimental and theoretical study of two-body interactions in a ${}^6$Li-${}^{133}$Cs Fermi- Bose mixture. Using a translatable dipole trap setup, we have successfully trapped the two species in the same trap with temperatures of a few microkelvins. By monitoring atom number loss and inter-species thermalization, we identify five s-wave interspecies Feshbach resonances in the lowest two scattering channels. We construct a coupled channels model using molecular potentials to fit and characterize these resonances. Two of the resonances are as wide as 60 G and thus should be suitable for creating Feshbach molecules and searching for universal few-body scaling.
