The PENTATRAP experiment is under construction at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik Heidelberg. It aims for high-precision mass measurements of stable, highly charged nuclides up to uranium with an accuracy of δ m/m≈10−11. Primary goals are for example tests of quantum electrodynamics and of electron correlations in the regime of extreme fields as well as neutrino oriented mass measurements on e.g. 163Ho. In order to achieve the desired accuracy, a setup of five cryogenic Penning traps including a dedicated detection system is designed. This setup will guarantee a fast ion exchange between a reference ion and an ion of interest as well as an observation of the magnetic field over the measurement time. The planned experimental setup as well as its present status will be presented.
