Penning traps are well known as high precision msss spectrometers mainly employed for the investigation of stable particles. For accurate mass measurements of short-lived radioactive isotopes one Penning trap system is operational today. It is the ISOLTRAP spectrometer installed at the ISOLDE facili

Ion traps and storage rings provide unique experimental conditions for the study of the properties of stable or radioactive, singly or highly charged ions. Storage of the confined particles for extended periods of times and cooling are the key issues for extremely high accuracy and sensitivity. At m
We describe several methods for efficiently injecting a small number of radioactive atoms into a laser trap. The characteristics of laser traps that make them desirable for physics experiments are discussed and several different experimental directions are described. We describe recent experiments w
A linear radio-frequency quadrupole ion guide and beam buncher has been installed at the ISOLTRAP mass spectrometry experiment at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. The apparatus is being used as a beam cooling, accumulation, and bunching system. It operates with a buffer gas that cools the injected ions
