Abstract
A Penning trap ion accumulator, cooler, and buncher for low-energy ion beams has been developed for the ISOLTRAP mass spectrometer at ISOLDE /CERN. A cylindrical electrode configuration is used for the creation of a nested trapping potential. This is required for efficient accumul ation of externally produced ions and for high-mass selectivity by buf fer gas cooling. The design goal of a mass resolving power of about 1 x 10(5) has been achieved, Isobar separation has been demonstrated for radioactive rare-earth ion beams delivered by the ISOLDE on-line mass separator.
