Ultra Cold Atoms in Magnetic Traps on the Atom Chip — •Thorsten Schumm, Alexander Kasper, Stephan Schneider, Markus Bartenstein, and Jörg Schmiedmayer — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Heidelberg, Philosophenweg 12, 69120 Heidelberg

To produce a large ensemble of ultra cold atoms as a source for mesoscopic physics in microscopic atom optical devices, we set up a double MOT system with an Atom Chip in the low pressure chamber.

Atoms are precooled in a high vapor pressure MOT and transferred with a continuous push beam to the UHV mirror MOT with the Chip. The compatibility of Atom Chips with BEC is discussed and the present state of the experiment is described.
