Abstract
We observe Bose-Einstein condensation (BEG) in a dilute atomic gas coo led below 280 nK. Rb-87 atoms are optically trapped and pre-cooled, lo aded into a magnetic trap, and then evaporatively cooled through the B EC phase transition. We present results of quantitative studies of con densate fraction, interaction strength, and excitations of the condens ate in this system.
