Accumulation of chromium metastable atoms into an optical trap
We report the fast accumulation of a large number of metastable 52Cr atoms in a mixed trap, formed by the superposition of a strongly confining optical trap and a quadrupolar magnetic trap.

Accumulation and thermalization of cold atoms in a finite-depth magnetic trap
We study the continuous accumulation of cold atoms from a magneto-optical trap (MOT) into a finite depth trap, consisting in a magnetic quadrupole trap dressed by a radiofrequency (RF) field.

Optimized production of large Bose-Einstein condensates
We describe several routes to quantum degenerate gases based on simple schemes to efficiently load atoms into and evaporate them from a “dimple” crossed dipolar trap.

High flux source of cold rubidium atoms
We report the production of a continuous, slow, and cold beam of 87Rb atoms with an unprecedented flux of 3.2 x 10^12 atoms/s and a temperature of a few milliKelvin.

Observation of reduced three-body recombination in a correlated 1D degenerate Bose gas
We investigate the correlation properties of a one-dimensional interacting Bose gas by loading a magnetically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) into a deep two-dimensional optical lattice.
