Dependences of the loading efficiency of cold ND3 molecules on both (a) the initial central velocity vz 0 with Δ vx 0 = Δ vy 0 = Δ vz 0 = 3 m/s and (b) the loading time t loading for different initial central velocity ( vz 0 = 9, 10, and 11 m/s) with U 1 = 3.75 kV and U 2 = 25.0 kV. The symbols are the simulated results with the solid lines being the fitted curves.
