Abstract

Description of capture regions for various rest times in Scenario A. A rest time of 3 s corresponds to the capture region in Figure 6.11. The bolded region in the table marks the sub-regions the capture region for which a time-dependence on the capture radius has been observed. Ranges of z-coordinate are used for some entries to conserve space. *Because the maximum initial radial coordinate of Ba + ions was 7.0 mm, any capture radii labelled as 7.0 mm may actually be greater than 7.0 mm.. .. .. .. .. .. . .. 6.4 Description of capture regions for various rest times in Scenario C. The bolded region in the table marks the sub-regions the capture region for which a timedependence on the capture radius has been observed. The bolded region in the table marks the sub-regions the capture region for which a time-dependence on the capture radius has been observed. *Because the maximum initial radial coordinate of Ba + ions was 7.0 mm, any capture radii labelled as 7.0 mm may actually be greater than 7.0 mm.. .. .. .. .. .. . .. 6.5 Capture regions for the sub-regions of Scenario C with sub-regions defined in Figure 6.12. The different capture radii for equal z-coordinates demonstrates an angular dependence in capture probability for this scenario. Ranges of z-coordinate are used for some rows to conserve space. *Refer to Figure 6.12 for definitions of Inner Region and Outer Region headings. **Because the maximum initial radial coordinate of Ba + ions was 7.0 mm, any capture radii labelled as 7.0 mm may actually be greater than 7.
