Description
The pursuit of fundamental interactions requires ever increasing precision in theory and experiment. Ion-trapping techniques have been deployed and pioneered to investigate radioactive nuclides at the TITAN-TRIUMF facility. Experiments include precision mass spectrometry of superallowed $\beta$ emitters to investigate isospin symmetry and to test the unitarity of the quark-mixing matrix. To further these studies, a redesigned Penning-trap system has been commissioned to achieve precisions as low as $\delta m/ m \sim$ 10-10. In this talk, I will contextualize the new Penning trap and other technical developments for studies of fundamental symmetries.
