Lyman-[alpha] spectroscopy of magnetically trapped atomic hydrogen

We describe the first optical experiments on atomic hydrogen in a magnetic trap, using a narrow-band source at Lyman-[alpha] wavelength. By means of transmission spectroscopy we have studied the temperature and density evolution of the gas during evaporative cooling in a fixed field geometry.
