An ultracold Fermi-Bose mixture of 6Li and 133Cs is an ideal system for the study of Efimov’s scenario, which predicts an infinite series of geometrically spaced three-body bound states in the limit of resonant pairwise interactions. Due to the large mass imbalance the universal scaling factor is reduced to 4.9, which makes the observation of a series of resonances feasible. Recently we observed two consecutive Efimov resonances close to a broad Feshbach resonance at temperatures of 400 nK [1]. In this poster we present the route to obtain temperatures below 100 nK for this strongly mass imbalanced mixture involving the combination of optical dipole traps at different wavelengths for an optimized species selective trapping potential. In addition, we measure the binding energy of the least bound molecular state near the broad LiCs Feshbach resonances and compare them to a coupled-channels calculation, which extends our previous analysis [2] of the LiCs scattering properties.
