Abstract
In this thesis I have reported the first measurements of the binding energies of ground state CsYb molecules and the scattering lengths of the Cs+Yb system. This represents a major milestone in the experiment and is essential for devising the most efficient route to creation of rovibrational ground state CsYb molecules.
