Penning-trap mass spectrometry has reached a state that allows its application to very short-lived isotopes available from various sources of radioactive beams. Mass values with outstanding accuracy are achieved even far from stability. This paper illustrate the state of the art by discussing the st

โฆ Synopsis
Mass measurements on 33,34,42,43 Ar have been performed at the ISOLTRAP spectrometer. An accuracy of ฮดm โ 4 keV has been achieved for all measured isotopes. With 33 Ar it is the first time that a nuclide with a half-life shorter than one second has been investigated using a Penning trap. This became possible due to the recently installed linear radio-frequency ion-trap system and an improved, faster measurement cycle.
