Non-equilibrium Feshbach association of Fermionic 6Li atoms

In this thesis, an experiment capable of producing 105 6Li2 molecules at temperatures between 0.1-1 µK will be presented. By firstly loading 108 6Li atoms into a Magneto-Optical Trap (MOT) and transferring them to a far-red detuned optical dipole trap, 106 atoms are loaded at a temperature of 400 µK....
