Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 200402 (2009) [4 pages]Bose-Einstein Condensation of 84Sr
See accompanying Physics Viewpoint We report Bose-Einstein condensation of 84Sr in an optical dipole trap. Efficient laser cooling on the narrow intercombination line and an ideal s-wave scattering length allow the creation of large condensates (N0∼3×105) even though the natural abundance of this isotope is only 0.6%. Condensation is heralded by the emergence of a low-velocity component in time-of-flight images. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
