Abstract

A compensated Penning trap has been used to measure the modified cyclotron frequency νc' and the magnetron frequency νm of single trapped 3He+ and H2+ ions. From the ratio of the sum of these frequencies we obtain a mass ratio m(3He+)/m(H2+) = 1.496 441 095(6) in accordance with published values.
