← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the inertial mass within a Penning trap deviates from the gravitational mass?
A)Cyclotron frequency shift observed✓
B)Perfect confinement indefinitely sustained
C)Ion resonance intensity increases
D)Trap electrode temperature stabilized
💡 Explanation
A deviation would cause the **Einstein equivalence principle** to be violated, because any such mass difference affects cyclotron motion differently than gravity; therefore a frequency deviation is recorded, rather than stable trapping, due to force imbalances.
