Abstract :
Singly-charged carbon clusters Cn+ (n⩾1) have been produced by laser-induced desorption and fragmentation of C60 fullerenes and have been injected into and stored in the Penning trap system of the ISOLTRAP mass spectrometer at ISOLDE/CERN. The present study is the first step to extend the until now direct mass measurements at ISOLTRAP to absolute mass measurements by using clusters of 12C.
