Abstract

The atomic masses of both 3H and 3He have been measured with a Penning trap mass spectrometer that utilizes a frequency-shift detector to observe ion cyclotron resonances. Present resolution exceeds 1 part in 109 and is limited only by the stability of the magnetic field. The leading systematic shift (at â²1 part in 1010) is due to the residual quadratic B field dependence. The atomic masses have been combined to yield ÎMc2(3H-3He)=18 590.1(1.7) eV. The excellent agreement with recent results from β spectrometers lends strong support for new limits on the neutrinoâs rest mass.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
