Mass measurements on 33,34,42,43 Ar have been performed at the ISOLTRAP spectrometer. An accuracy of Ξ΄m β 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

β¦ Synopsis
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 status of the ISOLTRAP experiment at ISOLDE/CERN. In addition an overview of new ion-trap projects for nuclear mass determination will be given.

The recent commissioning of the experimental program MISTRAL (Mass Measurements at ISolde using a Transmission and Radiofrequency spectrometer on Line) brought mass measurements of high precision performed on sodium and magnesium isotopes. The shortest half-life of an isotope measured with MISTRAL w
Significant mass displacements from the expected instrumental value have been observed in ion-trap experiments on several ionic species. This phenomenon has been extensively investigated and interpreted as the result of an interaction between the analyte and the radio-frequency field present within
