Dear All

At the beginning of this months two research groups succeeded in producing Bose-Einstein condensates of molecules.

Both experimental research teams will report about their experiments in the Laserseminar on Monday, 08 December 2003 and Monday, 05 January 2004.

The series of three lectures on this topic will start on next Monday, 1st December 2003 with a theoretical introduction.
