Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 143001 (2008) [4 pages]Magnetic Trapping of Hydrogen after Multistage Zeeman Deceleration
See accompanying Physics Viewpoint We report the first experimental realization of magnetic trapping of a sample of cold radicals following multistage Zeeman deceleration of a pulsed supersonic beam. H atoms seeded in a supersonic expansion of Kr have been decelerated from an initial velocity of 520 m/s to 100 m/s in a 12-stage Zeeman decelerator and loaded into a magnetic quadrupole trap by rapidly switching the fields of the trap solenoids. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
