A Penning ion trap spectrometer has been used to measure the modified cyclotron frequencies of trapped 4He+ and D f ions. The resonances were detected by a time of flight method after ejection of the ions from the trap. We obtain a mass difference Am (D2-4He) = 25 600 331 (5). 10-9 amu in acordance with published values but with a reduced uncertainty.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
