Abstract :
The Canadian Penning Trap (CPT) mass spectrometer located at the ATLAS facility of Argonne National Laboratory is an online Penning trap system used for mass measurements of high accuracy on short-lived isotopes. It uses a gas catcher as a novel way to transform radioactive ions efficiently from different sources into cooled beams which are injected into ion traps for further preparation and measurement. The CPT has recently been successfully used to make precise mass measurements on over 40 neutron-rich and neutron-deficient radioactive nuclides related to astrophysical processes.
