Abstract
We present progress towards the production of the first dual species metastable Helium (He*)-87Rb Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC). The production of a He*-Rb binary BEC would allow for studies of Penning and associative ionization, photoassociative spectroscopy and eventually for a study of bound ultracold He*Rb molecules. The production of a He*-Rb BEC will be realised by modifying the existing He* BEC experiment at the Australian National University [1].
