In this thesis, we describe the early stages in setting up a new experiment which aims at producing sodium Bose-Einstein condensates. The final apparatus will integrate an atomchip, enabling us to study the non-equilibrium dynamics of low-dimensional quantum gases, as well as their relaxation dynamics. The experimental setup comprises a laser system locked to an iodine rovibronic transition, and an ultra-high vacuum chamber. The latter consists of an oven producing an effusive atomic beam, which is decelerated in a Zeeman slower made with permanent magnets.We thus obtain a flux of 2 x 108 atoms/s, allowing the efficient loading of a magneto-optical trap containing up to 109 atoms. During the slower optimization, we observed a redistribution...
