Characterization of a Degenerate Fermi Gas of $^{87}$Sr
ORAL
Abstract
We report progress on the study of a SU(10) degenerate Fermi gas of neutral $^{87}$Sr atoms. We will describe measurements of the magnetic sublevel populations using the optical Stern-Gerlach effect and discuss prospects for utilizing an optical Feshbach resonance to modify interactions. The ability to directly measure spin population and manipulate interactions, combined with the achievement of low $T/T_F$ paves the way toward studying the rich physics predicted for this novel system.
