Summary

Although laser cooling and cryogenic surface thermalization are currently used to cool some atoms sufficiently to permit their loading into magnetic traps, such techniques are not applicable to molecules. The authors report a more general loading technique based on elastic collisions with a cold buffer gas and have used it to trap a molecular species, calcium monohydride.
