When two kinds of ions with a very small mass difference are trapped at high density in the Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (PI-ICR) cell and are coherently rotating in their cyclotron orbits, collective motion of two ion packets takes place due to the Coulomb interaction and only one peak
## It is shown that if an independent-particle Hamiltonian can be separated into a center-of-mass and internal part, it must be a second degree polynomial in the momentum and position operators. In particular the spin can enter only through an additive term which is independent of the orbital quan
