About the NH experiment

The NH trapping magnet

We cool nitrogen atoms and NH molecules to 500mK using helium vapor. The species fall into a 4T deep magnetic trap created by two superconducting coils in an anti-Helmholtz configuration. We study the collisions of the atoms and molecules with helium to elucidate spin relaxation mechanisms. The helium buffer gas can be extracted, to leave atoms and molecules thermally isolated from their environment. Future work will include studies of interatomic and intermolecular collisions and the development of techniques to increase the phase space densities of trapped species.
