Abstract
The dynamic motion of the tons contained in the trapped 199 e+ frequency standard contributes to the stability of the standard. In order to study these dynamics, a macroscopic analog of the !°°Hg* trap is constructed. Containment of micron-sized particles in this trap allows direct visual observation of the particles’ motion. Influenced by the confining fields and their own Coulomb repulsion, the particles can form stable arrays.
