We report experimental measurements of the stability region of a Paul trap with very strong damping where the trapping parameter q was up to 25 times greater than the maximum value with no damping. We measured the region of stable trapping of charged particles for background pressures from atmospheric down to 5×10-2 mbar. The large increase in the size of the stability region that we observed at the highest pressure is explained by numerical solution of the Mathieu differential equation including a damping term. We show that stability regions that are separate under conditions of low damping merge together at higher pressures.
