in various areas of modern science. They developed into a universal
tool especially when used for precision measurements. For this
purpose, there are mainly two types ofiontrapsinuse: radiofrequency
quadrupole (Paul)trapswhichuseatime-varying quadrupolar electric
?eld applied to the electrodes for con?nement and Penning traps
where a superposition of a homogeneous magnetic ?eld with a weak
el- trostatic quadrupolar ?eld is used. Already the very ?rst
experiments in ion traps, performed by their inventors Wolfgang
Paul and Hans Dehmelt, paved the way for astonishingly precise
measurements of fundamental quantities like the electron and
positron g-factors and the ?ne-structure constant ?. Their work was
honored with the Nobel Prize in physics for "the development of the
ion trap technique" in 1989. Sincethenmanyexperimental
physicistsworldwidehavebeenusinganddeveloping different kinds of
ion traps. Today, ion traps are applied widely for instance in mass
spectrometry, metrology, plasma physics, molecular and cluster
physics, quantum computing, atomic and nuclear physics as well as
in chemistry. Precise investigations are able to link measurable
quantities to fundamental - pects of physics. Due to the achievable
precision, ion traps have been used for this
subjectandattractedaconferenceseries"TrappedChargedParticlesandFundam-
tal Interactions." Along the main idea of that conference we
organized a Heraeus Winter School that took place in Hirschegg,
Austria, in spring 2006. Inspired by the success and the interest
from the students we planned a book that should contain the key
components of the school: interesting, introductory and up-to-date
lectures connected with ion traps.
