We have observed thermalization by elastic collisions of magnetically trapped
metastable helium atoms. Our method directly samples the reconstruction of a
thermal energy distribution after the application of an RF knife. The
relaxation time of our sample towards equilibrium gives an elastic collision
rate constant close to the unitarity limit.
