Full Text & Related Files: 0802.1662v1.pdf (246.8Kb; PDF) Abstract: We observe magnetic trapping of atomic nitrogen ($$^{14}$$N) and cotrapping of ground state imidogen ($$^{14}$$NH, $$X$$$$^{3}$$$$\Sigma$$ -). Both are loaded directly from a room temperature beam via buffer gas cooling. We trap approximately 1 x 10$$^{11}$$ $$^{14}$$N atoms at a peak density of 5 x 10$$^{11}$$ cm$$^{-3}$$ at 550 mK. The $$12\pm{4} s 1/e$$ lifetime of atomic nitrogen in the trap is limited by elastic collisions with the helium buffer gas. Cotrapping of $$^{14}$$N and $$^{14}$$NH is accomplished, with 10$$^{8}$$ NH trapped molecules at a peak density of 10$$^{8}$$ cm$$^{-3}$$.
