Abstract
We have realized a scheme for continuous loading of a magnetic trap (MT). [Formula Presented] atoms are continuously captured and cooled in a magneto-optical trap (MOT). Optical pumping to a metastable state decouples atoms from the cooling light. Due to their high magnetic moment [Formula Presented] low-field seeking metastable atoms are trapped in the magnetic quadrupole field provided by the MOT. Limited by inelastic collisions between atoms in the MOT and in the MT, we load [Formula Presented] metastable atoms at a rate of [Formula Presented] atoms/s below [Formula Presented] into the MT. Optical repumping after the loading allows us to realize a MT of ground-state chromium atoms.
