The Penning-trap mass spectrometer PENTATRAP is currently in the commissioning phase at the Max-Planck-Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg. We are aiming at measurements of mass ratios of highly charged ions with a relative uncertainty of 10⁻¹¹ and better, e.g. to probe, with the measurement of the Q-value of ¹⁶³Ho/¹⁶³Dy, the electron neutrino mass. In the first commissioning campaign we demonstrated the transport of the ions from the electron beam ion source to the trap. We succeeded as well in trapping a single ⁴⁰Ar⁸⁺ ion where trapping times up to 30 min were achieved. To improve the trapping time even further and thus, to achieve a full characterization of the trap and start first precision measurements, a major revision of the cryogenic setup is presently prepared. This includes a new detection and trap alignment system.
