The observed baryon asymmetry in our Universe challenges the Standard Model of particle physics and motivates sensitive tests of CPT invariance. Inspired by that, the BASE experiment at CERN compares the fundamental properties of antiprotons and protons with high precision.

In 2014 we performed the most precise measurement of the antiproton charge-to-mass-ratio qp/mp [1], with a fractional precision of 69 ppt. Very recently we reported on a 350-fold improved measurement of the antiproton magnetic moment µp [2] using a newly-invented multi-Penning trap method. The high-precision measurement of µp was enabled by a highly-stabilised experimental apparatus including ultra-low electric field fluctuations.

In this talk I will focus on the characterisation and optimisation of electric field noise and the interpretation of heating rates at different radial amplitudes causing axial frequency fluctuations. The optimised Penning trap heating rates measured in BASE are well below the heating rates which are usually reported in Paul traps. Furthermore, I will summarize recent experimental developments and discuss future prospects of BASE.
