Ground loop detection • By ground loop, extra low signal will be on the background and the voltage fluctuation directly affects to the axial frequency! r 2 qC 2 ∆ V m V 0 ν z = < 10 − 6 V 0 ∆ ν z ∼ 170 m Hz ( ν z ∼ 660kHz ) • To avoid it, we should plug out suspect cables or detect the ground loop.

Summery • For measuring g-factor, only Cyclotron and Lamour frequency should be measured. Principally simple but practically difficult. • By Double penning trap method, the antiproton g-factor measurement is now ongoing even off beam time. • For further measurement, there are many things to be improved, e.g ground loop detector.

Absolute energy resolution (normalized to m-scale) is the relevant measure to characterize sensitivity of an experiment to CPT violation.
