Abstract
The atomic masses of , , and have been measured by comparing cyclotron frequencies of single ions in a Penning trap. The results (with one standard deviation uncertainties) are , , , , and . Combining our mass of with the high-precision mass difference between and obtained by Rainville et al. [submitted to Nature], we also obtain . These results are more precise than previous data by factors of 13 to 600.
