Nuclear mass measurements give a direct determination of the binding energy, the result of all forces acting in the nucleus. The exploration of nuclear structure requires the measurement of masses far from stability. However the production of radioactive ions is not very selective and the ion of interest is often lost in a background of isobaric contaminants. The use of linear ion traps and buffer gas cooling has been highly developed in recent years, allowing mass measurement of exotic nuclei with high accuracy. This thesis focuses on the development of a novel circular Paul trap, "the ion circus". Its geometry allows confining ions during several turns. Thus, they can be cooled with a lower buffer gas pressure of about 10-4 mbar. Furtherm...
