• Comprehensive nuclear-test-ban treaty
• Noble gas samplers and spectrometers
• Pure (133m)Xe sample
• Penning trap

A Penning trap-based purification process having a resolution of about 1 ppm is reported. In this context, we present for the first time a production method for the most complicated and crucially important nuclear weapons test signature, (133m)Xe. These pure xenon samples are required by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization to standardize and calibrate the worldwide network of xenon detectors.
