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 using highly charged ions with a relative uncertainty of better than 10−11. This allows, among others, contributions to neutrino physics research by a sub-eV measurement of the Q-value of the electron capture in 163Ho. Furthermore, for a precession test of the energy-mass equivalence E=mc2 and thus of special relativity, the mass difference of 35Cl and 36Cl and the sum of energies of the gamma-rays emitted after the neutron capture in 35Cl are needed. The former will be measured at PENTATRAP and the latter - at ILL. To reach trapping times of weeks for highly charged ions and to perform a full characterization of the Penning-trap system in order to start first precision measurements, a major revision of the cryogenic setup and the ion transfer beamline is presently prepared and will be commissioned soon.
