Loss estimation of electrostatically trapped ND3 molecules

Losses of electrostatically trapped molecules are caused by the Majorana transition or the inelastic collisions between trapped molecules. The loss rate of electrostatically trapped ND₃ molecules in the (J=1,K=1,M=1, A) state was estimated: ND₃ molecules in this state have actually been trapped. When trapping cold molecules, using ¹⁵ND₃ molecules (fermion) with a minimum electric field higher than 10 kV/cm yields high stability.
