This experimental research program has a goal to magnetically trap, cool, and study a wide range of atoms, among them nitrogen, nickel, bismuth, samarium, neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium. These atoms include Fermionic species, atoms with high magnetic moments, heavy atoms, and atoms with non-zero orbital angular momentum and non-trivial shell structure (i.e. with collapsed orbitals). The collisional interactions of these new species will be studied, furthering the understanding of cold collision physics. The creation of atomic Fermi and Bose degenerate gases with high magnetic moment will be sought. The broader impact of the program may involve the development of new electronic materials or the creation of a quantum computer.

这个实验研究计划的目标是磁性捕获，冷却和研究各种原子，其中包括氮，镍，铋，钐，钕，镨和镝。这些原子包括费米子物质、具有高磁矩的原子、重原子和具有非零轨道角动量和非平凡壳结构（即具有塌缩轨道）的原子。这些新物种的碰撞相互作用将被研究，进一步了解冷碰撞物理。将寻求创造具有高磁矩的原子费米和玻色简并气体。该计划的更广泛影响可能涉及新电子材料的开发或量子计算机的创建。
