PENTATRAP
The PENTATRAP experiment
The Penning-trap mass spectrometer PENTATRAP performs mass-ratio measurements on long-lived, highly charged, heavy ions with a precision on the order of δm/m <= 10-11 or better. Unique for PENTATRAP are the synchronously operated five traps [1,2], a self-build ultrastable voltage source [3] and access to external ion sources [4,5].
The complete experiment extends over two floors. The ion sources and the beamline are located on the ground floor of the experimental hall at the MPIK. For stable experimental conditions the magnet is housed one floor below in a temperature and pressure stabilized lab.

EMMI
The research within the framework of the PENTATRAP project has close affiliation with the goals of the
Extreme Matter Institute (EMMI) at
GSI/Darmstadt
.
The institute was created by the Helmholtz Alliance "Extremes of Density and Temperature: Cosmic Matter in the Laboratory".
This Alliance connects GSI with 7 national partners (among them the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics at Heidelberg) as
well as 4 international partners. With EMMI Europe will get a unique infrastructure for interdisciplinary investigations of matter
under extreme conditions.
ERC Advanced Grant
This project receives funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme under grant agreement No 832848 -
