description

A Penning ion trap spectrometer has been used to measure the modified cyclotron frequencies of trapped4He+ and D 2 + ions. The resonances were detected by a time of flight method after ejection of the ions from the trap. We obtain a mass differenceΔm (D2-4He) = 25600331(5)·10−9 amu in acordance with published values but with a reduced uncertainty.
