We observe magnetic trapping of atomic nitrogen (14^N) and cotrapping of ground state imidogen (14^NH, X-triplet-Sigma-). Both are loaded directly from a room temperature beam via buffer gas cooling. We trap approximately 1 * 10^11 14^N atoms at a peak density of 5 * 10^11 cm^-3 at 550 mK. The 12 +5/-3 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. We observe no spin relaxation of nitrogen in collisions with helium.

Imidogen (NH) radicals are magnetically trapped and their Zeeman relaxation and energy transport collision cross sections with helium are measured. Continuous buffer-gas loading of the trap is direct from a room-temperature molecular beam. The Zeeman
relaxation (inelastic) cross section of magnetically trapped electronic, vibrational and rotational ground state imidogen in collisions with He-3 is measured to be 3.8 +/- 1.1 E-19 cm^2 at 710 mK. The NH-He energy transport cross section is also measured, indicating a ratio of diffusive to inelastic cross sections of gamma = 7 E4 in agreement with the recent theory of Krems et al. (PRA 68 051401(R) (2003))
We report on the Stark deceleration and electrostatic trapping of $^{14}$NH ($a ^1Delta$) radicals. In the trap, the molecules are excited on the spin-forbidden $A ^3Pi leftarrow a ^1Delta$ transition and detected via their subsequent fluorescence to
the $X ^3Sigma^-$ ground state. The 1/e trapping time is 1.4 $pm$ 0.1 s, from which a lower limit of 2.7 s for the radiative lifetime of the $a ^1Delta, v=0,J=2$ state is deduced. The spectral profile of the molecules in the trapping field is measured to probe their spatial distribution. Electrostatic trapping of metastable NH followed by optical pumping of the trapped molecules to the electronic ground state is an important step towards accumulation of these radicals in a magnetic trap.
We present an experimental and theoretical study of atom-molecule collisions in a mixture of cold, trapped atomic nitrogen and NH molecules at a temperature of $sim 600$~mK. We measure a small N+NH trap loss rate coefficient of $k^{(mathrm{N+NH})}_ma
thrm{loss} = 8(4) times 10^{-13}$~cm$^{3}$s$^{-1}$. Accurate quantum scattering calculations based on {it ab initio} interaction potentials are in agreement with experiment and indicate the magnetic dipole interaction to be the dominant loss mechanism. Our theory further indicates the ratio of N+NH elastic to inelastic collisions remains large ($>100$) into the mK regime.
We measure and theoretically determine the effect of molecular rotational splitting on Zeeman relaxation rates in collisions of cold Triplet-Sigma molecules with helium atoms in a magnetic field. All four stable isotopomers of the imidogen (NH) molec
ule are magnetically trapped and studied in collisions with 3He and 4He. The 4He data support the predicted inverse square dependence of the collision induced Zeeman relaxation rate coefficient on the molecular rotational constant B. The measured 3He rate coefficients are much larger than 4He and depend less strongly on B, and the theoretical analysis indicates they are strongly affected by a shape resonance. The results demonstrate the influence of molecular structure on collisional energy transfer at low temperatures.
Three-dimensional trapping of neutral atoms in a combined gravito-magnetic potential is reported. Clouds of cold rubidium atoms in different hyperfine states of the ground level were trapped with a lifetime of 4.5 s. Confinement exclusively occurred
as a combination of the static magnetic force and the gravitational force.
