Abstract

We report on teh efficient operation of a double-magneto-optical-trap (MOT) apparatus for potassium isopes. Mechanisms for the cooling and the transfer between the two MOTs are studied. A magnetic quadrupole trap has been loaded from the second MOT: density and temperature appear to be promising for starting runaway evaporative cooling.
