Demonstration of the Double Penning Trap Technique
Demonstration of the Double Penning Trap Technique In a just in Physics Letters B published article we report on the first successful demonstration of the double Penning trap technique with a single proton. This is a major step towards a measurement of the particle’s magnetic moment with ppb precision. The method can be applied to

CERN SPSC Recommends BASE Approval
CERN SPSC Recommends BASE Approval The BASE technical design report was evaluated by the SPSC. The committee recommended approval of the BASE project to the research board. Our TDR contains a detailed description of our experiment and a feasibility study for implementation of BASE into the Antiproton Decelerator facility. We acknowledge the strong support of

First Resolution of Single Spin Flips with a Single Proton
First Resolution of Single Spin Flips with a Single Proton In a just in Physical Review Letters published article we report on the first detection of single spin-flips of a single proton. We use Bayesian analysis methods and obtain spin state detection fidelities close to 100%. This is a major step towards the application of

Review Article Published in New Journal of Physics
Review Article Published in New Journal of Physics We just published a review article which gives detailed insight into the proton g-factor experiment at Mainz. The article contains as well a low resolution measurement of the proton magnetic moment it a fractional precision of 8.9 ppm.

Direct measurement of the free cyclotron frequency of a single trapped proton
Direct measurement of the free cyclotron frequency of a single trapped proton Penning traps are extremely powerful and versatile tools for high precision physics. This enormous impact is mainly based on the fact that in the magnetic field B of the trap the free cyclotron frequency of a trapped particle can be measured with high

Observation of Spin Flips with a Single Trapped Proton
Observation of Spin Flips with a Single Trapped Proton We have observed spin quantum-jumps with a single trapped proton for the first time. The result is a pioneering step forward in the endeavor to directly measure the magnetic properties of the proton and the antiproton with high precision, and was just published in Physical Review
