Abstract
A polar molecule experiences a force in an inhomogeneous electric field. Using this force, neutral molecules can be decelerated and trapped. Using a series of 64 pulsed inhomogeneous electric fields ammonia molecules are decelerated and loaded into an electrostatic quadrupole trap or a storage ring.
