Mass and Half-Life Measurements of Stored Exotic Nuclei Yu.A. Litvinov, Hirschegg 19.01.2006
Present Knowledge of Atomic Masses
Experimental facility at GSI Highly-Charged Ions In-Flight Separation Cocktail or Monoisotopic Beams
Schottky Mass Spectrometry (SMS)
Broad-band Schottky frequency spectra
Measured Mass Surface About 1/3 of all known masses were covered in one experiment Typical mass accuracy 1.5 10-7 Mass resolving power 2 106 reached 275 new masses determined More than 300 improved values Yu.A. Litvinov et al., Nucl. Phys. A756 (2005) 3
Predictive Powers of Mass Models
Two new SMS experiments Identification, Mass and Half-life values in one experiment
Isohronous Mass Spectrometry (IMS)
Time-of-Flight Spectra m/q range is 2.4-2.7
for several mass-to-charge ratios Isochronicity curves for several mass-to-charge ratios
Improved resolving power
