Illustration of the ion trap used by the ISOLDE team to measure the electron affinity of chlorine. In the trap, chlorine anions are reflected back and forth between two electrostatic ion mirrors, allowing the laser beam (pink) to probe the anions for much longer than in conventional measurements. The laser frequency is tuned to find the exact photon energy above which the extra electron (small white circle) is removed from the anion.

In the magnified section, it is easy to see the underlying structure of matter in our universe.
