Starting from a degenerate Bose gas in hybrid trap combining magnetic quadrupole and an attractive optical resulting focused laser beam, we demonstrate the efficient loading of this quantum into shell-shaped trap. The shell is purely relies on adiabatic potentials for atoms inhomogeneous field dressed by radiofrequency (rf) field. We show that direct rf evaporation enables simple preparation co...
