Ultracold dysprosium in 1D optical lattice

POSTER

Abstract

Ultracold dysprosium presents a frontier of study that combines the simplicity of atoms with a dipolar interaction strength approaching that of less polar molecules. We report the creation of a dysprosium BEC and its subsequent loading into an optical lattice. Lifetime and losses of the condensate in the lattice are studied.
