Hyperfine Interactions Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The general behaviour of Paul- and Penning ion traps is briefly described and some emphasis is given to the storage of highly charged ions. In the second part recent examples of laser and microwave spectroscopy on stored ions are given which illustrate the high precision and high sensitivity of these devices. We point out the possible application to laser spectroscopy on highly charged ions.
