| dc.description.abstract | A continuously operated electrostatic trap for polar molecules is demonstrated. The trap has a volume of ≈0.6cm3 and holds molecules with a positive Stark shift. With deuterated ammonia from a quadrupole velocity filter, a trap density of ≈108cm-3 is achieved with an average lifetime of 130 ms and a motional temperature of ≈300mK. The trap offers good starting conditions for high-precision measurements, and can be used as a first stage in cooling schemes for molecules and as a “reaction vessel” in cold chemistry. | en |
