Abstract
Mass measurements on 33,34,42,43Ar have been performed at the ISOLTRAP spectrometer. An accuracy of δm ≈ 4 keV has been achieved for all measured isitopes. With 33Ar it is the first time that a nuclide with a half-life shorter than one second has been investigated using a Penning trap. This became possible due to the recently installed linear radio-frequency ion-trap system and an improved, faster measurement cycle.
