Dependences of the loading efficiency of cold ND3 molecules on (a) the initial central velocity V y 0 of the incident ND3 molecular beam for Δ V x 0 = Δ V y 0 = Δ V z 0 = 3 m/s and (b) the loading time tload for different initial central velocities ( V y 0 = 10 m/s, 12 m/s, 14 m/s). The data points are the simulated results, and the solid lines are the fitted curves.
