    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Penning trap; Mass spectrometers; Instrumentation and methods for time-of-flight TOF spectroscopy; Highly charged ions; Atomic physics; Atomfysik; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the final precision mass measurements with SMILETRAP I, where a relative precision of < 1 ppb (10-9) was reached routinely, and the development of SMILETRAP II, aiming for measurements with < 0.1 ppb relative precision. READ MORE

  3. 3. New atomic masses related to fundamental physics measured with SMILETRAP

    Author : Szilárd Nagy; Reinhold Schuch; Gunter Werth; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Penning Trap; mass spectrometry; Atomic physics; Atomfysik;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the recent improvements of the SMILETRAP Penning trap mass spectrometer and a number of interesting high precision mass measurements, which have been performed using the improved apparatus, and are relevant in todays fundamental physics problems. The mass of the hydrogen-like 24,26Mg ions as well as the masses of the hydrogen- and lithium-like 40Ca ions are presented in this work that are indispensable input values when evaluating g-factor measurements of the bound electron.
