“…Therefore, only superconducting magnets with a high spatial homogeneity are used in high-precision Penning-trap mass spectrometry. Moreover, the real magnetic field shows a temporal drift and short-term fluctuations [42,43]. Thus, a magnetic field stabilization [44] and a fast measurement of the frequency ratio is essential to gain very high precision.…”

The novel five-Penning trap mass spectrometer Pentatrap is developed at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik (MPIK), Heidelberg. Ions of interest are long-lived highly charged nuclides up to bare uranium. Pentatrap aims for an accuracy of a few parts in 10 12 for mass ratios of mass doublets. A physics program for Pentatrap includes Q-values measurements of β-transitions relevant for neutrino physics, stringent tests of quantum electrodynamics in the regime of extreme electric fields, and a test of special relativity. Main features of Pentatrap are an access to a source of highly charged ions, a multi-trap configuration, simultaneous measurements of frequencies, a continuous precise monitoring of magnetic field fluctuations, a fast exchange between different ions, and a highly sensitive cryogenic non-destructive detection system. This paper gives a motivation for the new mass spectrometer Pentatrap, presents its experimental setup, and describes the present status.

“…For SMILE-TRAP II a new temperature stabilization system was constructed which can stabilize the trap temperature to 2.5 mK [20] without oscillation. The reduced magnetic field variation will allow resolving resonance widths down to 0.2 Hz and will therefore not limit the achievable accuracy in the mass measurements down to the 20 ppt level.…”

The new Penning trap mass spectrometer SMILETRAP II has been set up at the AlbaNova Research Center, Stockholm. Based on the former spectrometer SMILETRAP I, it uses the merits of highly-charged ions to achieve high precision in the mass measurements. Various improvements over the SMILETRAP I setup will allow to routinely perform mass measurements with relative uncertainties of 10 −10 and below. In this paper we will discuss the limitations of SMILETRAP I and present the corresponding improvements of SMILETRAP II. An overview on the SMILETRAP II setup is given.
