Abstract
Progress on magnetic confinement and evaporative cooling of spin-polarized atomic hydrogen is described, and the first results are presented for the energy distribution of the trapped gas. Data are displayed for energy distributions during various stages of cooling. For the lowest temperature studied the results are in good agreement with the calculated distribution for a temperature of 800 μK.
