II - NEWS FROM EXPERIMENTS ON MASSES The MIT mass spectrometer / F. Palmer May 96 The single ion Penning trap spectrometer at MIT is currently the most accurate mass spectrometer in the world. Our mass table includes nine light atoms plus the neutron with typical relative accuracies of 1*10^(-10). Extensive checks have greatly reduced the possibility of systematic error. We have demonstrated techniques for measuring the cyclotron frequencies of two simultaneously trapped ions and for squeezing thermal noise. These may lead to more accurate future measurements. Future work will include more accurate measurements, new techniques for comparing dissimilar ions, and measurements of 133Cs, 85Rb, 29Si, 3H, 3He, 32S, and 33S. See AMDC files "mit96.bibliography" (ascii) and "mit_ratios95.ps" (a comprehensive report in post-script). The MISTRAL experiment / M. de Saint Simon Jun 96 A brief description of the MISTRAL experiment is given in AMDC as file "mistral.description". III - NUCLEUS NUCLEUS draws a chart of the nuclides and displays various information from incorporated databases. A brief status report on NUCLEUS and call for testing is available from the AMDC as file "nucleus.status" (ascii).
