Studies are proposed of a single electron, isolated from                   all matter by suspending it in the electric and magnetic fields                 of a Penning trap.  The central idea is to observe, study and                   use the relativistic mass increase at energies below one                        electron volt.  This mass increase will be used to probe the                    quantum structure of the cyclotron motion of the isolated                       electrons.  A fractional resolution of 10E-9 is required in                     measurements of the cyclotron frequency.  This will permit more                 precise measurements of the magnetic moment of the electron and                 positron, which would provide the most stringest test of                        quantum electrodynamics and test CPT invariance.  The                           interaction of the cyclotron oscillator with the surrounding                    microwave cavity changes the radiation rate but may also shift                  the cyclotron frequency; these effects will be studied in a                     Penning trap with three cylindrical electrodes and two flat end                 plates.  Ways to exploit the relativistic nonlinearity will be                  investigated.
