Abstract
It is shown that particles of a specific chargee/m are confined in three dimensions by a high frequency electric quadrupole field with the potentialϕ=c · U(t)· (x 2+y 2−2z 2). The confinement is mass selective. The theoretical predictions are verified by experiments with ions of different masses and with electrons. The mass selection, maximum number of stored charges and their mean life time in the field are measured. Furthermore the influence of a magnetic field on the motion of the charges is investigated.
