STUDIES OF 2-SPECIES BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION

We describe our recent progress on the investigation of two-species Bo se-Einstein condensation. From a theoretical analysis we show that the re is a new rich phenomenology associated with two-species Bose-Einste in condensates which does not exist in a single-species condensate. We then describe results of a numerical model of the evaporative cooling process of a trapped two-species gas. (C)1998 Optical Society of Amer ica
