The 6Li-133Cs system is particularly well-suited for studying impurity physics since it offers the largest mass ratio among stable alkali atoms. Besides the tunability of attractive and repulsive interactions, the Li-Cs Feshbach resonances allow for the preparation of stable Bose and Fermi polarons, where an impurity is dressed by the elementary excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate or a Fermi sea, respectively. We describe the production of a 133Cs Bose-Einstein condensate by means of degenerate Raman sideband cooling and subsequent forced evaporative cooling. Furthermore, we describe the creation of a degenerate Fermi gas by performing gray-molasses cooling after which we load the sample into a flexible optical dipole trap involving a time-averaged optical potential. The latter offers good starting conditions for further evaporative cooling. Eventually, we discuss possibilites to cancel the gravitational sag and combine both species in order to study polaron physics or to create double degenerate mixtures.
