First 4K Cs MOT!

We have trapped our first cold Cs MOT inside the 4K region of the cryostat, running the MOT with superconducting coils. This is the first step towards generating large, reconfigurable arrays of individually trapped atoms, and will soon be followed by the first cold Rb atoms as the new cooling laser system is assembled.
