Description

Proposed by Heinz-Juergen Kluge in 1980 and installed in 1986, ISOLTRAP was the world's first Penning trap connected to a radioactive beam facility. Since then, ISOLTRAP has pioneered most of the techniques now associated with on-line ion trapping and manipulation for precision measurements of atomic masses. After an introduction of physics motivation, a brief history and description of the ISOLTRAP spectrometer is given, followed by an overview of the numerous developments and scientific results achieved since Juergen's presentation at this workshop 10 years ago. Plans for the next 10 years will also be addressed.
