Abstract  We report a highly efficient three-dimensional degenerated Raman sideband cooling (3D dRSC) that enhances the loading of a magnetically levitated optical dipole trap, and observe the strong atom loss due to the three-body recombination. The 3D dRSC is implemented to obtain 5×107 Cs atoms with the temperature of ~ 480 nK. The cold temperature enables 1.8×107 atoms loaded into a crossed dipole trap with an optimized excessive levitation magnetic gradient. Compared to the loading of atoms from a bare magneto-optical trap or the gray-molasses cooling, there is a significant increase in the number of atoms loaded into the optical dipole trap. We derive for the three-body recombination coefficient of L3 = 7.73×10-25 cm6/s by analyzing the strong atom loss at a large scattering length of 1418 Bohr radius, and discover the transition from the strong three-body loss to the dominant one-body loss. Our result indicates that the lifetime of atoms in the optical dipole trap is finally decided by the one-body loss after the initial strong three-body loss.
