FIDIPRO-JSPS Workshop, Keurusselkä , AriJokinen, JYFL Mass predictions vs. JYFLTRAP data U. Hager et al., NPA 793 ( 2007) Tendency: Mass predictions and AME deviate from new precise data, but they often agree with each other ! Are predictions guided (too much) by AME ? 2. Plenty of new data and more is coming, but AME update will take years model benchmarking and adjustment should be based on the experimental data !
