We investigate inelastic cold collisions in a Rb-Cs mixed-species trap where the rubidium trap loss rate was measured. We present the experimental results and a qualitative discussion for the observation. These studies are relevant for high-resolution atomic and molecular spectroscopy, and for the production of mixed-species Bose-Einstein condensates.
