Abstract
We present experimental results, as well as numerical simulations, for the transverse velocity distribution of ions stored in an electrostatic ion beam trap. The measurements indicate that the transverse velocity spread is about 1% of the longitudinal velocity, and that the ions fill the whole transverse stable phase space. We also demonstrate that ion losses from the trap due to multiple scattering with molecules from the residual gas is an important factor limiting the lifetime of the beam.
