The neutral sodium atoms have been slowed down to the trap depth by using a Zeeman slower and trapped by the magneto-optical method. The density and the temperature of the trapped atoms are measured, and the frequency region where the trap is available is represented. We controlled the flux of slowed atoms by varying the slowing beam intensity, and we measured the increasing and decreasing rate of trapped atoms. We show that the difference between the increasing and decreasing rate of trapped atoms result from the loss proportional to $N_2$.
