An apparatus for ultracold Fermi gases using sodium and lithium — •Jens Appmeier, Fabienne Haupert, Bernhard Huber, Raphael Scelle, Tobias Schuster, Valentin Volchkov, and Markus K. Oberthaler — Kirchhoff-Institut für Physik, Heidelberg, Germany

We report on the setup of an apparatus for cooling fermionic ⁶Li atoms to quantum degeneracy. As a refrigerant for the fermions, ²³Na is used and standard cooling schemes are applied. By tuning the interactions between ²³Na and ⁶Li via Feshbach resonances it is possible to study different regimes of a mixed system containing both species. The current progress of the experimental setup will be reported.
