SHIPTRAP is a Penning trap facility coupled to the velocity filter SHIP at GSI-Darmstadt leaded by Professor Michael Block (University of Mainz, GSI-Darmstadt and HIM-Mainz). It has been built to carry out experiments on superheavy elements. More information can be found in The SHIPTRAP experiment at GSI.

MATS is the acronyms for precise Measurements on very short-lived nuclei using an Advanced Trapping System. MATS is one of the NUSTAR experiments at the future facility FAIR (Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research) to be built in Darmstadt (Germany).
