Description
The goal of our experiment is to study how optical cavities can modify ultracold reactions. To do so, we need to upgrade our ultracold dysprosium experiment by including two new elements in the science chamber. 1) A high-finesse optical cavity for controlling light-matter coupling. 2) An ion optics system for detecting reaction products. This requires the development of a new atomic source, i.e. a 2D-MOT, in place of our Zeeman slower. We present initial investigation of how a 2D-MOT can be integrated in our experiment. We also discuss how we plan to incorporate machine-learning for optimizing the duty cycle of our experiment.
