The importance of helium atoms in the metastable state 2 3S1 (He*, lifetime 8000 s) for studies of ultracold atomic clouds in the quantum degeneracy regime has been pointed out e.g by Fedichev et al [1]. For 4He* Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) is expected, whereas the 3He isotope allows the study of a fermionic system, if the technique of sympathetic cooling is feasible We plan to reach the BEC transition using forced evaporative cooling in our magnetostatic trap (MST) of cloverleaf geometry.
