Abstract
The progress towards to a microwave frequency standard based on laser-cooled 113Cd+ ions trapped in a linear quadrupole trap is reported. The experimental apparatus is introduced and the measurement of the clock transition is demonstrated. The estimated performance of the clock is also discussed.
