Abstract
Variations of the hysteresis of the rf detection signals corresponding to the axial motion of an ion cloud in a Paul trap versus the detecti on voltage, operation parameters and number of ions have been observed . The features are explained by an extended pseudopotential model with an octupole potential correction and an effective potential from the ion cloud.
