Atomic masses with high precision are essential parameters for sensitive tests of fundamental physics. LIONTRAP (Light-Ion Trap) is a dedicated mass spectrometer aiming for various light ion mass measurements with a relative precision of a few 10−12 (ppt). Our latest results include the atomic masses of the proton [1], the deuteron and the HD+ molecular ion [2]. These show an excellent agreement with values extracted from laser spectroscopy of HD+ [3] and the comparison is limited by the precision of the relative mass of the electron, Ar(e). This brings in a motivation to measure the atomic mass of 4He which along with a g-factor measurement can improve the electron mass. Furthermore, the masses of 3He and 3T [4] can be used as an important cross-check for the determination of the electron anti-neutrino mass which is being investigated by the KATRIN experiment [5]. In this contribution I will discuss the efforts to measure the alluded systems at LIONTRAP.
