Abstract: | We report the creation of the first mixture of ~6 Li and ~(88) Sr atoms in an optical dipole trap. Using this mixture,a measurement of the interspecies thermalization process is carried out and the previously unknown interspecies s-wave scattering length between ~6 Li and ~(88) Sr atoms is extracted to be |~(a6) Li-~(88) Sr| =(380_(-100)~(+160))a_0 with a_0 being the Bohr radius from the rate of interspecies thermalization. |
