Protons and neutrons are the central building blocks of all nuclei. Measuring their properties, among others their atomic masses, is of continued interest for metrology and offers possibilities for precision tests.

We are presently setting up a new experiment consisting of a cryogenic Penning-trap system, which aims to measure mp and mn in atomic mass units with a relative uncertainty of δ m / m = 10−11 or better. This precision is achieved by comparing the simultaneously measured cyclotron frequencies of a proton or a deuteron, respectively, with a 12C6+-ion utilizing a phase-sensitve measurement technique, thus cancelling magnetic field fluctuations. The current status of the experiment, experimental methods, as well as first results will be presented.
