Title

Precision Penning Trap Experiments with Stored and Cooled Exotic Ions

Abstract

The presentation will concentrate on recent applications with exciting results of Penning traps in atomic and nuclear physics with exotic ions. These are high-accuracy mass measurements of shortlived radionuclides, g-factor determinations of the bound-electron in highly-charged, hydrogen-like ions and g-factor measurements of the proton and antiproton. The experiments are dedicated, e.g., to astrophysics studies and to tests of fundamental symmetries in the case of mass measurements on radionuclides, and to the determination of fundamental constants and a CPT test in the case of the g-factor measurements.
