High precision mass measurement and LPT

摘要

A Penning trap,which can measure the atomic masses with the highest precision,is one of the most important facilities in nuclear physics research nowadays.The precision mass data play an important role in the studies of nuclear models,mass formulas,nuclear synthesis processes in the nuclear astrophysics,symmetries of the weak interaction and the conserved vector current (CVC) hypothesis.The status of high precision mass measurement around the world,the basic principle of Penning trap and the basic information about the LPT (Lanzhou Penning Trap) are introduced.
