Abstract

The SHIPTRAP facility is set up behind the velocity filter SHIP at GSI. One of the main physics goals is the direct mass determination of trans-uranium nuclides by Penning trap mass spectrometry. In this contribution the applicability of the non-destructive Fourier Transform-Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FT-ICR) detection technique to mass spectrometry of short-lived nuclides is discussed.
