Abstract
The microwave trap (MW) was proposed as a method of achieving Bose-Ein stein condensation (BEC) in spin-polarized atomic hydrogen, H down. We have experimentally demonstrated this new type of atomic trap using t he cesium atom. Here we review and discuss the implications and limita tions of this trap for BEC.
