Penning Trap Mass Spectrometry in North America — •Jens Dilling — TRIUMF, 4004 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver, BC, V6T 2A3, Canada

Penning Traps (PT) are among the most versatile tools used in atomic physics, and the Noble prize in physics was given for its development and application in 1989. PTs have been adapted to physics applications in many different ways and the most precise atomic mass measurements are nowadays done using PT. The talk will give an overview of the status and recent developments in Penning trap mass spectrometry in North America, both for stable and unstable atoms. A particular emphasis is given to the TITAN (Triumf's Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science) facility at the ISAC accelerator complex at TRIUMF, Vancouver, Canada. Recent mass measurements from TITAN on exotic helium and lithium isotopes will be presented.
