<blockquote>I will describe experiments now in preparation for
laser-cooling of hydrogen. Our new laser cooling method, which uses
mode-locked lasers, can cool atomic species whose level structure
makes traditional laser cooling difficult, e.g. hydrogen. We will
apply this technique to obtain up to 109 H atoms at mK temperatures,
starting from a helium-cooled H beam at 10 K. The technique
generalizes trivially to cooling of deuterium and antihydrogen. Laser
cooling of carbon also appears feasible.</blockquote>
