Abstract

The atomic masses of S32, Kr84,86, and Xe129,132 have been measured by comparing cyclotron frequencies of single ions in a Penning trap. The results (with one standard deviation uncertainties) are M(S32)=31.9720711735(16), M(Kr84)=83.9114977705(50), M(Kr86)=85.9106106722(84), M(Xe129)=128.904780960(10), and M(Xe132)=131.9041551907(92). Combining our mass of S32 with the high-precision mass difference between S+33 and S32H+ obtained by Rainville et al. [submitted to Nature], we also obtain M(S33)=32.9714589087(16). These results are more precise than previous data by factors of 13 to 600.
