The buffer-gas cell and the extraction RFQ for SHIPTRAP
SHIPTRAP is a new ion trap system for high-precision mass measurements of transuranium recoil-ions from the SHIP facility at GSI. The system consists of a buffer-gas cell to thermalise the incoming ions, an extraction system to separate the ions from the buffer gas, an RFQ buncher to cool and accumulate the ions and a tandem Penning-trap system for isobaric purification and high-precision mass measurements. The buffer-gas cell and the extraction RFQ were developed, assembled and tested within this thesis at the MLL in Garching and at the GSI.
