Coldatomic clouds and Bose-Einstein condensates have been stored in a10 cm diameter vertically oriented magnetic ring. An azimuthal magnetic fieldenables low-loss propagation of atomic clouds over a total distanceof 2 m, with a heating rate of less than 50 nK/s.The vertical geometry was used to split an atomic cloudinto two counter-rotating clouds which were recombined after one revolution.The system will be ideal for studying condensate collisions andultimately Sagnac interferometry.
