We have achieved Bose-Einstein condensation of Ca-40, the first for an alkaline earth element. The influence of elastic and inelastic collisions associated with the large ground-state s-wave scattering length of Ca-40 was measured. From these findings, an optimized loading and cooling scheme was developed that allowed us to condense about 2 x 10(4) atoms after laser cooling in a two-stage magneto-optical trap and subsequent forced evaporation in a crossed dipole trap within less than 3 s. The condensation of an alkaline earth element opens novel opportunities for precision measurements on the narrow intercombination lines as well as investigations of molecular states at the S-1-P-3 asymptotes.
