Abstract

We report Bose-Einstein condensation of large numbers of ⁸⁷Rb atoms in a magnetic time-averaged potential trap. Over 1.5 X 10⁹ atoms, initially captured in the TOP trap, are evaporatively cooled down to temperatures near 100 nK. Condensates of up to 2 X 10⁵ atoms at peak densities higher than 10¹⁴ cm^-3 are observed.
