Discovery of (229)Rn and the Structure of the Heaviest Rn and Ra Isotopes fro...
The masses of the neutron-rich radon isotopes (223-229)Rn have been determined for the first time, using the ISOLTRAP setup at CERN ISOLDE. In addition, this... -
Electric and magnetic field optimization procedure for Penning trap mass spec...
Significant systematic errors in high-precision Penning trap mass spectrometry can result from electric- and magnetic-field imperfections. An experimental procedure to... -
High-precision Penning-trap mass measurements of heavy xenon isotopes for nuc...
With the double Penning-trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP at ISOLDE/CERN the masses of the neutron-rich isotopes (136-146)Xe were measured with a relative uncertainty of... -
New mass measurement of (6)Li and ppb-level systematic studies of the Penning...
The frequency ratio of (6)Li to (7)Li was measured using the TITAN Penning trap mass spectrometer. This measurement resolves a 16-ppb discrepancy between the (6)Li... -
On-line separation of short-lived nuclei by a multi-reflection time-of-flight...
A multi-reflection time-of-flight (MR-ToF) mass analyzer has been integrated into ISOLTRAP, the precision mass spectrometer for on-line mass determinations of... -
Direct Mass Measurement of the Four-Neutron Halo Nuclide He-8
A high-precision Penning trap mass measurement of the exotic (8)He nuclide (T(1/2)=119 ms) has been carried out resulting in a reduction of the uncertainty of the halo... -
ISOLTRAP's multi-reflection time-of-flight mass separator/spectrometer
The online precision mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP at ISOLDE/CERN was recently upgraded by adding a multi-reflection time-of-flight mass separator/spectrometer (MR-ToF... -
Restoration of the N=82 shell gap from direct mass measurements of (132,134)Sn
A high-precision direct Penning trap mass measurement has revealed a 0.5-MeV deviation of the binding energy of (134)Sn from the currently accepted value. The... -
TITAN: an ion trap for accurate mass measurements of ms-half-life nuclides
The introduction of Paul traps, in particular linear radio-frequency quadrupoles in the early 2000s, has revolutionized the use of ion traps for probing the properties...
