Abstract The transient properties of laser-cooled two charged particles in a Paul trap are studied numerically. We find the existence of characteristic lifetime of an attractor, which is thought to be an important feature of the transient dynamics of the weakly dissipative system. The theoretical analysis shows that it is caused by pseudo-periodic orbit which is the residual sign of periodic orbit of the focus-saddle bifurcation. Study of dissipative coupled standard maps shows that this is a general conclusion for weakly dissipative system.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
