Steps to get the BECSteps to get the BEC Step 1: CLIP load Step 1: CLIP load
Step 2: RF evapolarion to 15 Step 2: RF evapolarion to 15 μμK and K and load to a dipole trap load to a dipole trap
Step 3: Switch off the MT and optically pump the atoms to the energetically lowest Step 3: Switch off the MT and optically pump the atoms to the energetically lowest Zeeman state to prevent the dipolar relaxation (large Zeeman state to prevent the dipolar relaxation (large μμB B helps to flip the atomshelps to flip the atoms
to wrong Zeeman states)to wrong Zeeman states)
