The mass difference of 132Xe and 131Xe has been measured by use of the recently developed phase-imaging ion-cyclotron-resonance (PI-ICR) technique with the precision Penning-trap mass spectrometer SHIPTRAP. A measured value of M(132Xe) − M(131Xe) = 930628611(25)(15) eV is in agreement with the literature value of 930628604(13) eV. This is a first ever measurement of the mass difference of a singly-charged medium–heavy non-mass doublet with a relative uncertainty close to 10−10
