Abstract
The hamiltonian describing a single fermion in a Penning trap is shown to be supersymmetric in certain cases. The supersymmetries of interest occur when the ratio of the cyclotron frequency to the axial frequency is 3/2 and the particle has anomalous magnetic moment 4/3 or 2/3. At these supersymmetric points, the spectrum shows uniformly spaced crossed levels. The associated superalgebras are su(2|1) and su(1|1). The phase space for this problem has an osp(2|6) structure and contains all the degeneracy superalgebras.
