Abstract

A three-dimensional dynamic trap for confining a collisional neutral gas is described. The trap uses the interaction of the magnetic moments of the gas atoms with a time-dependent magnetic field. Collisions lead to the evaporative cooling of the trapped atoms and to the viscous heating of the gas, particularly at high densities. This magnetic trap may allow the attainment of Bose–Einstein condensation in spin-polarized atomic hydrogen gas.
