Abstract
We report the observation of the first ten collective parametric reson ances of an uncooled N-2(+) ion cloud in a Paul trap driven at simple fractions of twice the secular frequency of the trap by an additionall y applied quadrupole field. The fractional resonances are observable o nly if the excitation field surpasses a critical strength. Odd-even st aggering of the thresholds is observed.
