This thesis describes the construction of a second generation, ultracold atomic mixture experiment, aiming for modularity, robustness and compactness. The setup is designed to work with Bose-Fermi (23Na, 40K) and Bose-Bose (23Na, 39K) mixtures. The …

This thesis describes the construction of a new apparatus to study quantum gas mixtures of sodium and potassium. Our experimental approach entails, using two independent two-dimensional magnetooptical traps (2D MOTs) as sources of cold atoms for a …
