Show other versions (2)

The Canadian Penning Trap (CPT) mass spectrometer has been set up at the ATLAS facility of the Argonne National Laboratories. The CPT mass spectrometer consists of two major components: a Paul trap for cooling and accumulation, and a Penning trap for precise mass measurements. The mass measurement i...
