Description
A mass spectrometer consisting of two Penning traps has been set up for short-lived isotopes at the on-line mass separator ISOLDE at CERN. The ion beam is collected and cooled in the first trap. After delivery to the second trap, high-accuracy direct mass measurements are made by determining the cyclotron frequency of the stored ions. Measurements have been performed for 118Cs--137Cs. A resolving power of over 106 and an accuracy of 1.4x10-7 have been achieved, corresponding to about 20 keV
