N2 - The access to exotic nuclei at radioactive ion beam facilities is crucial for the state of the art research across several fields of physics such as in nuclear structure, the understanding of fundamental interactions and nuclear astrophysics. The particle identification is of high importance, besides the challenging production of these rare and short-lived nuclei. At in-flight facilities, the particle identification is based on measuring the time-of-flight, energy-deposition and magnetic rigidity. These quantities are calibrated to convert them into A/Q and Z of the ions. To ensure a correct calibration, the unambiguous identification, also called tagging, of one species is necessary. Here, we present a novel tagging method by high-resolution mass measurements using an MR-TOF-MS after thermalization of the ions in a cryogenic stopping cell. The method was successfully established and tested at the fragment separator FRS at GSI with the FRS Ion Catcher in experiments using different FRS operation modes.
