LITHIUM-7 BEC
As of Dec 24, 2013 we have a Li-7 BEC. Here is an absorption image of the BEC surrounded by a thermal cloud.
We are the newest lab in the Ketterle Group, which is part of the Center for Ultracold Atoms (CUA). We are building an ultracold bosonic Lithium machine for optical lattice experiments.
This is our MOT. You can see a ball of Li atoms fluorescing in red (670nm).

This is our machine. From left to right, you can see the atomic beam source (The Oven), Zeeman Slower, the Main Chamber, the Optics Breadboards, and the Shim Coils.
We are currently looking for a new grad student to join out lab.
