We recently achieved the formation of ultracold LiCs-molecules in the rovibrational ground state X¹Σ⁺,v^″=0,J^″=0 [1] via photoassociation (PA) through the B¹Π potential in double-species magneto-optical trap. In this talk we will present a detailed analysis of the photoassociation step, including the strength of the PA resonances. We observed an enhancement of the PA rates for deeply bound states which might be explained by an increased amplitude of the scattering wave function at the inner turning point of the lowest triplet state a³Σ⁺. This perturbation is possibly introduced into the singlet projection of the wave function by a Feshbach resonance close to zero magnetic field [2].
