-These values, together with the simulation of the magnetic field distribution in the trap, allow us to estimate the required driving frequency and the resulting eigen frequency. \autoref{fig:magnetic-field-curvature} shows the $z$-component of the ac magnetic field ($\vec{B_1}$) for a range of $\chi$ values as well as the curvature. It is important to note that the \xmode and \ymode have a negative curvature, whilst the \zmode has a positive curvature. This means that $x$ and $y$ are not stable. Half a period later however this will have changed, and the particle will be stable in the $x$- and $y$-direction instead of the $z$-direction. This is what leads to the ponderomotive effect. The curves for $y$ are not symmetric because the slit is in the direction of the \ymode.
