PRODUCTION AND MAGNETIC CONFINEMENT OF SPIN POLARIZED HYDROGEN
Richard W. Cline, Thomas J. Greytak, Daniel Kleppner +1 more
We report initial results on the production of H↑ and its confinement in high magnetic fields. As many as 3 x 1017 atoms have been confined in a 4 cm3 volume at 0.3 K and a field of 8 T. Under these conditions the atom density decayed with a time constant of about one hour. Details of our technique are described and the prospects of achieving higher densities are discussed.
