Observation of an Efimov resonance in an ultracold mixture of atoms and weakly bound dimers
We discuss our recent observation of an atom-dimer Efimov resonance in an
ultracold mixture of Cs atoms and Cs_2 Feshbach molecules [Nature Phys. 5, 227
(2009)]. We review our experimental procedure and present additional data
involving a non-universal g-wave dimer state, to contrast our previous results
on the universal s-wave dimer. We resolve a seeming discrepancy when
quantitatively comparing our experimental findings with theoretical results
from effective field theory.Comment: Conference Proceeding ICPEAC 2009 Kalamazoo, to appear in Journal of

Expansion of a Fermi gas interacting with a Bose-Einstein condensate
We study the expansion of an atomic Fermi gas interacting attractively with a
Bose-Einstein condensate. We find that the interspecies interaction affects
dramatically both the expansion of the Fermi gas and the spatial distribution
of the cloud in trap. We observe indeed a slower evolution of the
radial-to-axial aspect ratio which reveals the importance of the mutual
attraction between the two samples during the first phase of the expansion. For
large atom numbers, we also observe a bimodal momentum distribution of the
Fermi gas, which reflects directly the distribution of the mixture in trap.
This effect allows us to extract information on the dynamics of the system at
the collapse.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Control of the interaction in a Fermi-Bose mixture
We control the interspecies interaction in a two-species atomic quantum
mixture by tuning the magnetic field at a Feshbach resonance. The mixture is
composed by fermionic 40K and bosonic 87Rb. We observe effects of the large
attractive and repulsive interaction energy across the resonance, such as
collapse or a reduced spatial overlap of the mixture, and we accurately locate
the resonance position and width. Understanding and controlling instabilities
in this mixture opens the way to a variety of applications, including formation
of heteronuclear molecular quantum gases.Comment: 5 Page
