Experiments with a mixture of ultracold gases allow to probe the behavior of impurities in an environment. In our experiment we are working with the highest possible mass ratio between the impurity and the environment which can be achieved with stable alkali atoms. We are currently aiming for the creation a Bose polaron quasiparticle which describes a single Li impurity inside a Cs BEC. This scenario can be mapped to the Fröhlich polaron model in condensed matter physics.
We describe the trap arrangement and the cooling scheme which will allow us to reach a degenerate Fermi gas and a BEC within one setup. Finally, we will overlap the two ultracold gases while keeping them within their own dipole trap. Furthermore, we give an overview of the necessary characterization steps of our system and the approach towards the experimental observation of the Bose polaron.
